    Large Mesenteric Cyst Mimicking Tuberculous Ascites
    (Hindawi Ltd, 2010) Dulger, Cumhur; Adali, Ertan; Avcu, Serhat; Kurdoglu, Zehra
    Background. Intraabdominal lesions such as mesenteric cysts are uncommon disorders. Most are discovered incidentally during routine abdominal examinations. Methods. We report a patient with a mesenteric cyst masquerading as tuberculous peritonitis and ascites. Conclusion. Mesenteric cysts generally do not show typical clinical findings. They may also present with peritoneal tuberculosis findings such as low albumin gradient ascites with high ascitic adenosine deaminase levels. Surgery is used to remove a wide variety of mesenteric cysts. A correct diagnosis can be made by the combined use of radiographic and sonographic examinations in conjunction with the clinical signs.

    Pelvic-Peritoneal Tuberculosis Simulating Peritoneal Carcinomatosis: High Clinical Suspicion and a Minimally Invasive Procedure
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2009) Adali, Ertan; Dulger, Cumhur; Kolusari, Ali; Kurdoglu, Mertihan; Yildizhan, Recep
    Peritoneal tuberculosis (TB) is still a major health problem in developing countries. We describe a 26-year-old woman with peritoneal TB presenting with lower abdominal pain and distention, weight loss, and night sweats. There are no pathognomonic clinical, laboratory, or radiologic findings for peritoneal TB. Therefore, it can be easily confused with peritoneal carcinomatosis and advanced ovarian carcinoma. Adenosine deaminase activity in ascitic fluid combined with a high clinic suspicion is an effective and minimally invasive procedure for the differential diagnosis of pelvic-peritoneal TB simulating peritoneal carcinomatosis, and may obviate the need for unnecessary extensive surgery and rapidly initiate appropriate therapy.
