Abstract:infection. We compared other differential diagnostic diseases (inflammatory bowel diseases, peritoneal diseases) to these ultrasonographic and CT manifestations. Conclusion: Tuberculous infection can mimic numerous other disease entities. Although a positive culture of histologic analysis of biopsy specimens is still required in many patients to yield the definite diagnosis, recognition and understanding of the spectrum of imaging features of extrapulmonary tuberculosis can aid in diagnosis.
