Abstract

Genital tuberculosis is a rare and unexpected disease in European countries including
Croatia. Diagnosis of female genital tract tuberculosis is challenging and is rarely pin-pointed
by clinical symptoms because of their low specificity. The authors decided to present a case of genitourinary
tuberculosis in a young, immunocompetent fertile woman with high clinical suspicion of
abdominal tumor mass. Although considered a desease of the past, rare clinical presentation of genital
tuberculosis should be expected and taken into account.
