Background: Pelvic tuberculosis is a rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. It commonly involves the fallopian\ntubes and the uterus from a lympho-hematogeneous spread. The presentation of pelvic tuberculosis as an isolated\novarian abscess is extremely rare and is reported only twice.\nCase presentation: a 25 yrs. old para III mother in the post partum period undergone laparotomy for suspected\ntuboovarian abscess/ovarian tumor after presenting with abdominal pain, pelvic mass and fever. Intra-operatively,\nIsolated right ovarian mass with caseation in the cavity but no significant pelvic adhesions was detected and right\noophorectomy was done. Post operative Histopathology of surgical specimens revealed tuberculous leision and\npatient recovered well after anti-tuberculosis treatment.\nConclusion: Isolated ovarian tuberculosis is a very rare form of Genital Tuberculosis which should always be\nconsidered in the evaluation of a woman presenting with any adnexal mass in highly prevalent areas.
