Abstract：
Tuberculosis poses a significant public health challenge, especially in highly endemic countries. Rarely, it appears as an abdominal mass resembling a malignant abdominal tumor and can be misleading on imaging, so early diagnosis remains a challenge, and confirmation may require invasive examinations such as laparotomy. The most characteristic radiological appearance is that of a solid, hypervascular, or peripherally enhancing mass with a hypodense center. We present a case of retroperitoneal tuberculosis that simulated a teratoma on imaging. This case highlights the diagnosis difficulties even in endemic countries, despite advances in imaging techniques such as ultrasound and computed tomography.
摘要：
结核病构成了重大的公共卫生挑战，特别是在高度流行的国家。很少,它看起来像一个类似于恶性腹部肿瘤的腹部肿块，在成像上可能会产生误导，所以早期诊断仍然是一个挑战，和确认可能需要侵入性检查，如剖腹手术。最具特征的放射学外观是固体，高血管,或外周增强的肿块，中心密度低。我们介绍了一例腹膜后结核，在影像学上模拟了畸胎瘤。这种情况突出了即使在流行国家的诊断困难，尽管超声和计算机断层扫描等成像技术取得了进展。
