Pelvic tuberculosis presenting with pyometra in a post-menopausal woman

Abstract

A 63-years-old postmenopausal woman was admitted to the gynecology clinic with vaginal discharge, abdominal pain, and pyrexia. Ultrasonography revealed evidence of pyometra. Serum CA-125 and CA 19-9 levels were elevated. Endometrial biopsy revealed no malignant cells or acid-fast bacilli. We performed total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Histological examination revealed caseous granulomatous inflammation. The diagnosis of genital tuberculosis was made and antituberculosis treatment was initiated. Here, we present a pelvic tuberculosis with pyometra in a post-menopausal women with elevated CA 125 and CA 19 9 levels.
