Abdominal tuberculosis is an infrequent pathology, it presents with a nonspecific clinical picture and multiple differential diagnoses. It should be considered as a diagnostic possibility in places with a high prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis; otherwise, it may be delayed in time, conditioning a late diagnosis and treatment. Imaging studies in experienced hands can guide the diagnosis. The described article presents an infrequent and nonspecific picture of abdominal tuberculosis as a cause of acute abdomen.
