In female genital tuberculosis, the LEAST commonly involved site in the genital tract is:

• A Fallopian tubes
• B Endometrium
• C Vulva and vagina ✓
• D Ovaries

Explanation

The descending frequency of involvement is fallopian tubes in virtually all cases, endometrium in about half, ovaries in roughly 10 percent, cervix in 5 to 15 percent, and vulva and vagina in under 2 percent, making them the rarest sites. Ovarian involvement is limited despite the tubes being universally diseased because the dense tunica albuginea resists mycobacterial penetration, so option D remains far more common than vulvovaginal disease.
