Abstract

A 3-year-old male child was admitted with fever, anorexia and abdominal pain for the past two months. Presumptive diagnosis leads to malignancy. Biopsy-aimed laparotomy was conducted. Laparotomy findings suggested the diagnosis of abdominal tuberculosis. Acid-fast bacilli in the peritoneal fluid and a positive culture determined confirmation of abdominal tuberculosis. Histopathological examination revealed a granulomatous inflammatory process, which compatible with tuberculosis. Anti-tuberculoses treatment was started immediately. Although modern imaging techniques were used, this rare infectious disease mimics malignancy, and lead to a more aggressive innovation. The authors recommend minimally invasive surgery for to avoid unnecessary laparatomy.

Özet

3 yaşında erkek hasta iki aydan beri süregelen ateş, iştahsızlık ve karın ağrısı yakınmaları ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Malign bir lezyon olabileceği düşünülerek biyopsi amaçlı laparotomi uygulandı. Laparotomi bulguları abdominal tüberküloz ile uyumlu bulundu. Abdominal tüberküloz tanısı peritoneal sıvıda asidorezistan basil ve kültür sonucunun pozitif gelmesi ile doğrulandı. Histopatolojik incelemede ise tüberküloz ile uyumlu olan inflamatuar granülamatöz reaksiyon saptandı. Antitüberküloz sağaltımına hemen başlandı. Ender görülen bu enfeksiyöz hastalık maligniteyi taklit ederek daha invaziv bir girşimin uygulanılmasına yol açmıştır. Yazarlar, minmal invaziv cerrahi girişimler kullanılarak gereksiz laparatomiden kaçınılabileceğini vurgulamaktadırlar.
