Tuberculosis is one of the world's most important communicable diseases. Although it may involve the genital tract and frequently results in infertility, the presentation of the disease as a pelvic mass is uncommon. While the incidence of tuberculosis has declined in the United States, genital tuberculosis should be considered in patients presenting with adnexal mass and a history of infertility. One such case is presented here, and diagnosis and treatment are described.
结核病是世界上最重要的传染病之一。虽然它可能累及生殖道并经常导致不孕,但以盆腔肿块形式出现的病例并不常见。在美国,结核病的发病率虽有所下降,但对于出现附件肿块并有不孕史的患者,仍应考虑生殖器结核。本文介绍了这样一个病例,并阐述了其诊断和治疗过程。
