Abstract

© 2018, Pharmainfo Publications. All rights reserved. Genital tuberculosis isolated in the same ovary with dermoid cyst is a rare condition. We present a 25-year female with a removed dermoid cyst of the ovary who underwent urgent subsequent laparoscopy within 3 months from the first surgery in order to exclude an ectopic pregnancy. The challenging in the pathology report from the second surgery was raised suspicion of specific infection of the resected ovary. To our best knowledge, only one case of tuberculosis of the dermoid cyst reported in 1958. A multidisciplinary approach involving chest specialist, gynecologists and morphologist have opted.
