Abstract

Tuberculous endometritis and cervicitis is quite rare, more so in postmenopausal age group where postmenopausal bleeding warrants strong suspicion of carcinomas. Due to their nonspecific symptoms and difficult diagnosis clinically, the patient may be subject to major surgeries and laparotomies causing significant yet completely avoidable morbidity. We present a case which appeared as a carcinoma but in the end a tissue diagnosis of genital tuberculosis was made instead.
