Sažetak
Tuberculosis continues to be a major health problem worldwide and, due to its systemic nature, its clinical presentation may be highly variable. The diagnosis may, therefore, be unduly delayed. A 67-year old male refugee was admitted to our Department with a diagnosis of intra-abdominal carcinomatosis. During hospitalization, tuberculous peritonitis was found to be the cause of his symptoms. Antituberculosis therapy was administered and the patient responded adequately, achieving total clinical remission. The importance of considering this polymorphous disease is emphasized.
