Abstract

We discuss the clinical presentation and consequences of pelvic tuberculosis in the context of 3 cases having developed typical signs and symptoms of ascites and abdominal mass. These cases are reported to emphasize the difficulty of early diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Copyright © 2001 S. Karger AG, Basel.
