Peritoneal tuberculosis is a common cause of ascites in areas endemic to . The presentation of tuberculous ascites can mimic ovarian malignancy when it is associated with elevated cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) levels. We hereby discuss a case of a four months post-partum female patient who presented with gradual abdominal distension and was diagnosed with peritoneal tuberculosis after proper evaluation. She was started on anti-tubercular therapy and the treatment was successful. This case report highlights the importance of considering peritoneal tuberculosis as a differential diagnosis in cases of ascites with raised serum CA-125 levels in a endemic region.
在（原文此处缺失相关地区信息）流行地区，结核性腹膜炎是腹水的常见病因。当结核性腹水与癌抗原125（CA - 125）水平升高相关时，其表现可酷似卵巢恶性肿瘤。我们在此讨论一例产后四个月的女性患者，该患者出现渐进性腹胀，经适当评估后被诊断为结核性腹膜炎。她开始接受抗结核治疗，治疗取得成功。本病例报告强调了在地方性流行区域，对于血清CA - 125水平升高的腹水病例，将结核性腹膜炎作为鉴别诊断的重要性。
