Abstract

Omental Cyst a Missed Diagnosis: A Case Report

Neha Thakur*, Tanvir Roshan and Srikesh Singh

We are presenting an interesting case of 6 year old with abdominal distension who was symptomatic for 2 years, worked up in the lines of abdominal tuberculosis. He was started antitubercular drugs based on ascitic fluid ADA. As there was no improvement even after 9 months of antitubercular drugs a contrast enhanced CT abdomen was done which showed omental cyst. This case shows that in Tubercular endemic countries like India, we need to look out for other diagnosis as well besides tuberculosis.
