Detection of Genital Tuberculosis in a Postmenopausal Patient
Abstract
Tuberculosis of the female genital organs mostly affects women of the reproductive age; less often, the disease develops in postmenopausal women. The article describes a clinical case of diagnosis of genital tuberculosis in a 72-year-old woman. The ultrasound examination of her abdomen revealed intrauterine fluid collection and fluid formations in the right ovary. No data relevant for diagnosis were provided through testing of scrapings from the walls and cervix of the uterus. Laparoscopy detected pronounced adhesions and an encapsulated lesion. Histological testing of surgical specimens confirmed tuberculosis.
