Abstract (Original Language):
Tüberküloz hidrosalpinks çocuklarda oldukça nadir görülmektedir. Pelvik tüberkülozda en sıklıkla tubalar tutulmaktadır. Birçok olguda ön tanı adneksiyal tümör yada akut apandisit olmaktadır. Sağ over lojuna uyan bölgede kistik kitle ve batında loküle asit saptanarak over tümörü ön tanısıyla hastanemize sevkedilen 11 yaşındaki kız hastada, tüberküloz hidrosalpinks ve peritonit saptandı. Üçlü antitüberküloz tedavi sonrası bir ayda klinik, üç ayda radyolojik bulgular tamamen düzeldi. Gelişmekte olan ülkelerde tüberkülozun halen ciddiyetini koruyan bir hastalık olduğu gözönüne alınarak, başarıyla tedavi edilen tüberküloz hidrosalpinksli çocuk olgumuz literatür eşliğinde irdelenmişdir.
