Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that can involve any organ system in the body. While pulmonary tuberculosis is the more common presentation, extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPT) is also an important clinical problem. In countries where TB incidence is as high as in our country, EPT must be kept in mind in differential diagnosis of infectious diseases with unknown etiology. Tuberculosis may involve any portion of gastrointestinal tract extending from oesophagus to rectum. The symptoms and signs of colon tuberculosis are nonspecific. It may mimic many other abdominal diseases, such as infectious or inflammatory procesess, crohn’s disease and malignancy. Intestinal tuberculosis should be diagnosed based on overall considerations, including clinical manifestations, colonoscopy findings and biopsy. In this case study, we report a case of intestinal tuberculosis in the ileocecal area which was presented as a hypertrophic ulcer, mimicking colon cancer without history of pulmonary tuberculosis.

Özet

Tüberküloz (TB) tüm organ ve dokuları tutabilen bir Enfeksiyon hastalığıdır. Pulmoner TB formu daha yaygın olarak görülmesine karşın ekstrapulmoner tüberküloz (EPT) halen önemli bir klinik problemdir. Ülkemiz gibi TB insidansının yüksek olduğu bölgelerde etiyolojisi saptanmayan enfeksiyon hastalıklarının ayırıcı tanısında EPT’un akılda tutulması gerekir. Gastrointestinal sistem tüberkülozu ösefagustan rektuma kadar herhangi bir organı tutabilir. Kolon tüberkülozunun semptomları nonspesifik olup enfeksiyon, enflamatuar (Crohn hastalığını) ve malignite gibi diğer abdominal hastalıkları taklit edebilir. Barsak tüberkülozu teşhisinde hastanın klinik bilgileri, kolonoskopik bulguları ve biyopsi sonuçları birlikte değerlendirilmelidir. Bu makalede kolon kanserini taklit eden kolonoskopide hipertrofik ülser gibi görünen, aktif ya da geçirilmiş pulmoner tüberküloz öyküsü olmayan ileoçekal bölgede görülen barsak tüberkülozu olgumuzu sunuyoruz.
