Among the most prevalent types of extrapulmonary TB is abdominal (TB). The diagnosis of abdominal TB is difficult. This disorder is thought to be a good imitator of other abdominal illnesses. To reduce morbidity and mortality, early diagnosis, antitubercular medication start-up, and surgical treatment are crucial. Only seldom is surgery necessary because most patients benefit from antitubercular therapy. Imaging is crucial to the diagnosis and care of these individuals. The following patient, aged about 53 years old female, complained of stomach pain, vomiting, loss of appetite, and weight loss when she first arrived. A swollen ileocaecal junction with a cystic lesion was discovered on an ultrasound of the whole abdomen. The patient received antitubercular medication for six months, and she responded favorably to it.
