Abstract
Tuberculosis is a widespread public health problem, which is mostly caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Typical clinical presentation is pulmonary tuberculosis. On the other hand, extrapulmonary tuberculosis is not uncommon, also challenging the clinicians for diagnosis. In this article, we present a young female patient who was ultimately diagnosed with tuberculosis, which we had difficulty diagnosing at the postnatal period, that mimicked hepatic or gynecological malignancies.
