Co-existent extrapulmonary, extragenital tuberculosis and gynaecological tumours: a reminder to pathologists

Extrapulmonary and extragenital tuberculosis is rarely encountered along with gynaecological tumours or malignancy. This report presents a case series of gynaecological malignancies/tumors co-existing with extrapulmonary, extragenital tuberculosis. Pathologists should always stay open to this possibility. A high index of suspicion is needed in view of the HIV pandemic causing resurgence of tuberculosis especially in third world countries. [Int J Reprod Contracept Obstet Gynecol 2013; 2(4.000): 733-734]
