multicystic intraabdominal expansion suspicious from tumor. Histological and microbiological findings confirmed tuberculous etiology.
The diagnosis of tuberculosis of mesenterial lymphnodes with peritoneal ascites was set down. Reservoir of the infection was not found.
The treatment with combination of four antituberculous drugs and Prednison proved after two months of duration an ameliorated clinical
status and an improved result of NMR. The treatment was finished after nine month. The abdomen sonography is physiological.
