The most common site of tuberculosis is the lung. However, it can also affect the fallopian tubes or endometrium. We report a woman with a narrow and tubular uterine cavity due to Mycobacterium africanum. The endometrium was fibrotic leading to amenorrhea of over a decade. Despite treatment with multiple anti-tuberculosis medication and hysteroscopic adhesiolysis, menstrual cycles resumed only a few years later. It shows that the endometrium regenerates overtime.
