description | INTRODUCTION: and importance: Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of mortality in many developing countries. Female genital tuberculosis, a relatively uncommon form of tuberculosis, is critically challenging to diagnose due to its insidious and non-typical presentations. CASE PRESENTATION: Herein, we present with an asymptomatic infertile woman with persistently high CA-125 passed undiagnosed until laparoscopy unveiled the diagnosis of TB. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: In this study, we highlight the diagnostic complexities in female genital tuberculosis and demonstrate the value of the CA-125 increase in prompting the suspicion of tuberculosis in the appropriate clinical context. CONCLUSION: Given the considerably large number of individuals with tuberculosis in China, we strongly recommend routine tuberculosis screening in women seeking infertility care in China. |
