Tuberculosis (TB) is a major infectious disease in the developing countries. With the upsurge of AIDS, and increased continental travel, it is showing an increased incidence, as well as a change in its presentation even in the developed world. Abdominal TB is now becoming a "not so uncommon" problem in day-to-day clinical and radiologic practice. With modern imaging methods, more and more information is is being gathered regardingthe pathology of abdominal TB. Inspite of this, no finding pathognomonic of TB has emerged. The observations on various imaging modalities are vague, non-specific and at best merely suggestive.
