Abstract

Spleen tuberculosis has occasionally been described in literature, mostly in immunocompromised patients with various risk factors. The presence of spleen involvement and splenomegaly makes this type of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infectiondifficult to diagnose. A 56-year-old woman who had mediastinal and abdominal lymphadenopathies with splenomegaly and was investigated with a pre-diagnosis of lymphoma, and with no significant medical history, presented with complaints of fever and malaise. Here, we present a case of tuberculous lymphadenitis and pleuritis accompanied by splenic tuberculosis with the appearance of granulomatous inflammation on pleural and spleen biopsy. Tuberculosis should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis in diseases accompanied by a fever of unknown origin and lymphadenopathy.

Özet

Dalak tüberkülozu, literatürde zaman zaman, çoğunlukla çeşitli risk faktörleri olan bağışıklığı baskılanmış bireylerde tanımlanmıştır. Dalak tutulumu ve splenomegalinin olması, bu tür Mycobacterium tuberculosis enfeksiyonunun teşhis edilmesini zorlaştırır. Splenomegali ile birlikte mediastinal ve abdominal lenfadenopatileri olan ve lenfoma ön tanısı ile araştırılan, önemli bir tıbbi öyküsü olmayan 56 yaşında kadın hasta ateş, halsizlik yakınması ile başvurdu. Alınan plevral ve dalak biyopsisinde granülomatöz inflamasyonun ortaya çıktı. Burada, dalak tüberkülozunun eşlik ettiği tüberküloz lenfadenit ve plörit olgusunu sunuyoruz. Tüberküloz, nedeni bilinmeyen ateş ve lenfadenopatilerin eşlik ettiği hastalıklarda ayırıcı tanı olarak hala akılda tutulmalıdır.
