Abstract

Tuberculosis of gastrointestinal tract may involve any portion of bowel extending from oesophagus to rectum, howewer; ileocecal region are to be the most frequent involved areas. Isolated or segmental tuberculous involvement of the colon is extremely rare. The diagnosis of colon tuberculosis is usually difficult, especially in cases without any manifestation of pulmoner tuberculosis. The symptoms and signs of colon tuberculosis are non-spesific. It may mimic many other abdominal diseases such as infectious or inflamatuar procesess, crohn disease and malignancy. Although intestinal tuberculosis is rarely seen in western countries, it continues to be a common disease responsible for morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. Herein we report a patient with isolated colon tuberculosis mimicking colon cancer without history of pulmoner tuberculosis.

Özet

Gastrointestinal sistem tüberkülozu özofagustan rektuma kadar herhangi bir organı tutabilmesine karşın en sık olarak ileoçekal bölgede görülmektedir. Segmenter ya da izole kolon tutulumu son derece nadirdir. Semptomları nonspesifik olup enfeksiyöz, inflamatuar ( Crohn hst.) ve malignite gibi diğer abdominal hastalıkları taklit edebilir. Aktif pulmoner enfeksiyon yokluğunda tanısı son derece zordur. Gelişmiş batı ülkelerinde görülme sıklığı az olmasına rağmen immunsupresif hastalarda hala önemli bir morbidite ve mortalite nedeni olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Biz burada kolon kanserini taklit eden, aktif yada geçirilmiş pulmoner tüberküloz öyküsü olmayan izole kolon tutulumlu olgumuzu sunuyoruz.
