Abstract: From North East Nigeria, a recent study reported a patient whose ovarian tuberculosis masqueraded as ovarian cancer in association with HIV infection. Therefore, 4 cases are documented here in respect of the South East Region of this developing country. The lesion is discussed with reference to countries as far apart as India, Iran, Madagascar and Pakistan. All point to the remedial action of antituberculous drugs as well as the need for developing national guidelines so as to avoid unnecessary laparotomies.
