Abstract
The authors report a case of women, 51-year-old that presented with peritoneal tuberculosis, with concomitant adrenocortical primitive neoplasm, mistaken as peritoneal carcinomatosis, due to the failure of correct histological analysis. In fact, the critical life status, associated to increases of CA 125, typical imaging of peritoneal carcinomatosis, and presence of 75% atypical cells in ascitic fluid, induced to begin chemotherapy.
