Tuberculosis (TB) peritonitis is a rare presentation of TB that is typically insidious, presenting with systemic symptoms and nonspecific abdominal pain. In the majority of the cases, this leads to bowel obstruction and rarely causes abdominal cocoon. The disease process predominantly affects the small bowel with a tendency to involve the terminal ileum, leading to perforation on rare occasions.
