摘要：Background: Diagnosis of abdominal tuberculosis as well as histopathological confirmation is difficult because of suboptimal access to the intraperitoneal pathology. Laparoscopy provides minimally invasive access to the peritoneal cavity and materials can be collected for confirmation of diagnosis. To study the importance of laparoscopy as a tool for the diagnosis of abdominal tuberculosis and initiation of appropriate treatment without delay.Materials biopsy was taken also from both liver nodules. One nodule revealed fibrosis and another nodule revealed tuberculosis.Conclusion: Imaging and culture of ascitic fluid may fail to confirm or exclude abdominal tuberculosis in clinically suspected cases. Laparoscopy with peritoneal tissue biopsy provided rapid and correct diagnosis of abdominal tuberculosis and should be performed early in suspected cases.
