A 47-year-old Nigerian man presented with fever, abdominal distention, and weight loss. Abdominal computed tomography revealed massive ascites and peritoneal thickening. Despite failing to culture acid-fast bacilli from ascites, histological examination and culture of peritoneum revealed multidrug-resistant tuberculosis peritonitis. Peritoneal biopsy is mandatory when tuberculosis peritonitis is suspected.
