Abdominal tuberculosis can simulate a malignant tumor pathology, due to the non-specificity of clinical signs, especially in the context of deterioration of the general condition. The existence of associated lung involvement and progress of tuberculosis may point to the diagnosis. We represent two observations of abdominal tuberculosis, the 1st is related to intestinal tuberculosis which simulated a tumor process of the transverse colon, for the 2nd observation we put the point on a peritoneal tuberculosis which the diagnostic was performed by the histological proof, the evolution was marked by a good improvement under treatment, the interest in taking into account the diagnostic difficulties of abdominal tuberculosis, even in countries of endemic in order to avoid any diagnostic delay.
