Etiopathogenesis, diagnostic evaluation, and management of ovarian tuberculosis: A systematic review
Ovarian tuberculosis is a rare entity with non-specific clinical manifestations, difficult diagnosis, and specific medical management. Ovarian involvement in tuberculosis (TB) may occur in two forms, namely, perioophoritis and oophoritis. The constitutional symptoms of tuberculosis such as anorexia,...

| description | Ovarian tuberculosis is a rare entity with non-specific clinical manifestations, difficult diagnosis, and specific medical management. Ovarian involvement in tuberculosis (TB) may occur in two forms, namely, perioophoritis and oophoritis. The constitutional symptoms of tuberculosis such as anorexia, weight loss, night sweats, and evening rise in temperature have been reported in up to 45% of patients. Misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis are common. A direct histopathological demonstration is the best diagnostic modality. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is the study of choice and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay increases its sensitivity. The standard short-course antituberculous for 6 months is recommended for isolated ovarian tuberculosis and for widespread disease, 12 months of therapy is recommended. Surgery is reserved for failure of medical therapy and abscess formation. There are many studies on genito-urinary tuberculosis but a detailed study defining diagnostic studies and management guidelines is still lacking. This article aims to present and share a review of the English-language literature on ovarian tuberculosis to gain a better understanding of etiopathogenesis and diagnostic methods and to provide guidelines for its management. |
