ABSTRACT
A case of uteroenterocutaneous fistula which developed after lower segment Caesarean section is described. A total abdominal hysterectomy with removal of a tuboovarian mass with excision of the fistulous tract and repair of a small gut fistula were performed. The tuberculous aetiology of this fistula was established after surgery by a positive endometrial culture of acid fast bacilli and the demonstration of epithelioid granulomas in the surgical specimen. Antituberculosis therapy was started and the postoperative recovery was uneventful. The description of the nature of the fistula, its rarity and its presence in a woman with unimpaired fertility are discussed.
