Abstract

A seven-year married infertile patient was admitted to 600-bed-Military Hospital, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. In routine physical examination and infertility work up, a scaring due to tuberculosis lymphadenitis on left submandibular region and a typical "golf stick" sign of the fallopian tubes on hysterosalpingography was noted. Biopsies from the granulomatous tissues and the peritoneal fluid samples from the Douglas pouch were taken during diagnostic laparoscopy. The peritoneal fluid aspirate from the Douglas pouch was Rivalta positive. Histology and biochemical analysis confirmed the diagnosis of tuberculous salpingitis. The patient was referred to an In Vitro Fertilization center.
