Paradoxical response during antituberculosis treatment occurs frequently in non-HIV-infected patients as well as in HIV-infected patients, and intraperitoneal tuberculous abscess can develop as paradoxical response in tuberculous peritonitis patients rarely. The unique CT findings are not present and microbiologic or pathologic confirm is needed for diagnosis of intraperitoneal tuberculous abscess. Further study is needed to define steroid use or operation indication of intraperitoneal tuberculosis abscess.

Background: Peritoneal tuberculosis (PT) and peritoneal malignancy (PM) are the most frequent causes of exsudate ascitic fluid but the different diagnosis between the former and the latter is also difficult and elusive. Objective: To study the difference of clinical and laparoscopic features between PT and PM. Subjects and method: 76 patients with PT and 50 with PM were diagnosed by laparoscopy and peritoneal biopsy. Ascitic mycobacterium tuberculosis was detected by PCR analysis. Exsudate ascites was confirmed according to criteria of Light. Results and Conclusions: Average age of PT was younger than of PM (p < 0.001). The frequency of fever, pleural effusion in the patients with PT was higher than those in PM (p < 0.001 and 0.05). The anemia and abdominal tumefaction in those of PM was more frequent than in those of PT (p < 0.05 and 0.001). High protein ascitic fluid and numerous lymphocytes in the patients with PT was frequent than in those with PM (p < 0.05). Laparoscopic features: In those patients with PT the white "miliary nodules" or adhesions between abdominal wall was more frequent than in those with PM (p < 0,05) and in patients with PM omental thickening, tumor formation was more than in those with PT.

Tuberculous peritonitis is mainly transmitted via hematogenous spreading of tuberculous bacilli. But sometimes this disease is occured, as the abdominal lymph node infected by the localized tuberculous enteritis was ruptured We pressent the report and the brief review of related literatures, who experienced a case of tuberculous peritonitis confirmed by paracentiesis and peritoneoscopic examination in a 9 years old male patient who was suspected toa malignant tumor because of the recent unexplained abdominal distension.

F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-18 FDG PET/CT) plays an important role in diagnosis of malignant tumors and adds to conventional imaging in the staging of pertoneal carcinomatosis. However, false positive cases resulting from benign disease such as tuberculosis may occur. We report two cases of peritoneal tuberculosis on F-18 FDG PET/CT which showed multiple hypermetabolic foci in the mesentery and peritoneum with increased serum cancer antigen 125 (CA 125). Subsequent F-18 FDG PET/CT showed a disappearance of pathologic uptake following treatment with anti-tuberculosis drugs.

Although the diagnosis of primary tuberculous peritonitis in pregnancy is seems challenging because of protean manifestations and difficult surgical intervention, prompt diagnosis and treatment can minimize both maternal and fetal/neonatal mortality. We have experienced one case of this disease in 23-year-old primigravida in 24 weeks of gestation.
