Abstract

TB salpingitis and ovarian TB is a rare association of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, especially when the lesions are not associated with lung involvement. The correct therapy leads to the sterilization of the tuberculosis foci, although the risk of scars and adhesions is high, causing local functional disorders.
