Abstract

Extrapulmonary tuberculosis is one of the major concern in developing countries. It presents with various clinical features, hence most of the times it is difficult to make diagnosis on the basis of single investigation. Multiple investigations should be done simultaneously for making appropriate diagnosis. We report a rare case of a 50 years old female, diagnosed as ovarian tuberculosis, who presented with complaints of dysmenorrhea, abnormal uterine bleeding and low grade fever for 4-6 months. Tuberculosis should always be kept in mind as the most common cause of granulomatous lesion in endemic regions.
