Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis is an unsolved problem and a disease with myriad presentations and manifestations. Isolated ovarian tuberculosis is very rare and always a diagnostic dilemma. Case details: We report here two cases that presented with abdominal pain and after all investigations surgery was done with suspected tuboovarian mass/tumor. Finally after the histopathological examination, special stain and polymerase chain reaction diagnosis of ovarian tuberculosis was made. Conclusion: Genital tuber-culosis should always be considered in a female with tuboovarian mass and has to be evaluated accordingly to prevent complications.

Key words: Tuberculosis, Ovary. Granuloma of Ovary
