Diagnosis of peritoneal tuberculosis via endosonography assisted through the needle forceps biopsy of peritoneum: First case in the literature (with video)

Abstract

Ascites can pose a difficult problem in diagnosis of peritoneal tuberculosis, and diagnostic laparoscopy or laparotomy is eventually required in some patients. Herein, we reported the diagnosis of peritoneal tuberculosis in a patient with ascites by using endosonography (EUS) assisted through the needle biopsy forceps (TTNB). The patient was immediately started on the tuberculosis treatment.
