The authors report two cases of female, genital tuberculosis with predominantly abdominal symptomatology, which required a laparotomy. In one case, the affliction was discovered during the gynecological period, whereas the second was found during the gravidic period and led to an abortion. The authors cover the classical clinical, biological and radiological aspects of this affliction, which is still current in their region. They stress the need to intensify anti-tubercular prophylaxis as the only means of improving obstetrical prognostic for the genital localization.
