Abstract
Despite the measures taken to prevent tuberculosis, it remains a widespread condition in Morocco. Although rare, peritoneal tuberculosis can mimic peritoneal carcinomatosis; We report the case of a 38-year-old patient, admitted for an etiological assessment of protein-rich ascites whose surgical exploration allowed us to suggest the diagnosis of peritoneal carcinomatosis from the macroscopic examination; but the histological analysis. The evolution was favorable after antibacillary treatment.
