Laparoscopy for intra-abdominal? Exploration and tissue? Sampling is useful in advanced ovarian cancers, in which it is presumed to be difficult to achieve complete? Tumour reduction in the initial surgery. We reported on a case in which we suspected advanced ovarian cancer, performed diagnostic laparoscopy, and experienced tuberculosis peritonitis after the postoperative diagnosis. Tuberculosis peritonitis has many similarities with cancerous peritonitis caused by advanced ovarian cancer in terms of clinical symptoms and clinical test data, so how can we differentiate between tuberculosis peritonitis and cancerous peritonitis before surgery? This brief examination examines whether it is feasible to distinguish between tuberculosis peritonitis and malignant peritonitis before surgery.
