Sumario: | Tuberculosis remains a global health problem, primarily in developing countries with inadequate health services. A significant portion of tuberculosis in these settings is extrapulmonary, including tuberculosis of the genitourinary tract.

We present a case of endometrial tuberculosis with postmenopausal vaginal bleeding. |
