Tuberculosis (tbc) is one of the most common causes of death related infections in the world. The incidence of tbc in the pediatric age group is 1,3 million/year and it's estimated that 450,000 cases result with death. The prevalance of tbc is increased with increasing incidence of HIV infection. Abdominal tbc includes unique or altogether involvement of gastrointestinal system, peritoneum, mesentery, abdominal lymph nodes, spleen and pancreas. Abdominal tbc is rare in children and often seen in immunsuppressed patients.
