Abstract
Pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) has increased in Spain in recent years due to multiple factors. Peritoneal tuberculosis represents the sixth cause of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, accounting for 11% of tuberculosis cases. We report a 28-year-old male from Mali, who arrived at our hospital with an acute abdomen due to intestinal perforation with a computed tomography scan (CT) performed peritoneal tuberculosis mimicking primary carcinomatosis. This presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, since the surgical approach differs in both cases, and the prognosis is very different between them.
