Abstract: Three cases of extrapulmonary tuberculosis are presented. Retroperitoneal and periportal adenopathy were the major manifestation of the disease detected by ultrasonography in all three cases. All of the patients were subsequently diagnosed as having acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The lymphohematogenous dissemination of the disease and the diagnostic role of ultrasonography are discussed.
