چکیده
Appendicitis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis is extremely rare and its presentation is atypical [1]. We describe a patient with peritoneal tuberculosis (TB) and perforated tuberculous appendicitis, who was investigated for vague abdominal distention and weight loss. The presentation of types of TB of the appendix and the role of cancer antigen-125 (CA-125) in the diagnosis and follow up of gastrointestinal TB are discussed.
