We report a new case of pseudo tumoral peritoneal tuberculosis in a girl of 21 years old in which diagnosis of ovarian cancer with ascitis and peritoneal carcinomatosis was suspected clinically, radiologically and biologically by rising CA125. Exploratory laparotomy with extemporaneous histological examination has confirmed tuberculosis diagnosis.
