A 69- year- old menopaused woman, presented a 2- month history of metrorrhagia. We suspected a malignant disease, but, the histopathologic examination of biopsies, found an endometrial inflammation without malignant cells. Culture for mycobacteria showed a Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A course of four- drug antituberculous therapy was started and the patient recovered. Tuberculosis remains a common disease, but genital infection is infrequent. Usually, it concerns young infertile women from non-industrial countries. More attention should be paid to this disease. Women, irrespective of their age, should be investigated for silent or subclinical genital symptoms, with mycobacterial examination.
