Its association with tuberculosis (TB) has been described in the literature. This association poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, especially in TB-endemic areas. We report a case of a young Ethiopian female patient who was diagnosed with TA associated with TB. We discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of this association.
