Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that can involve all organs and tissues. Although pulmonary TB is more common, extrapulmonary TB is an important clinical problem due to its nonspecific symptoms. Clinical presentation of abdominal TB includes abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever and weight loss, and it is difficult to make differential diagnosis with inflammatory bowel disease and gastrointestinal system malignancies. In this case report, we aimed to present a case of TB infection in the differential diagnosis of ileocecal region diseases in patients without a history of active or previous pulmonary TB mimicking colon tumor and presenting with acute appendicitis

Özet

Tüberküloz (TB) tüm organ ve dokuları tutabilen bir enfeksiyon hastalığıdır. Daha çok pulmoner TB karşımıza çıkmakla birlikte, ekstrapulmoner tüberküloz nonspesifik semptomları nedeniyle önemli bir klinik sorundur. Abdominal TB’de klinik başvuru karın ağrısı, ishal, ateş, kilo kaybı şeklinde olup enflamatuvar barsak hastalığı ve gastrointestinal sistem maligniteleri ile ayırıcı tanı yapmak güçtür. Bizde bu olguda akut apandisit kliniği ile başvuran kolon tümörünü taklit eden aktif ya da geçirilmiş pulmoner tüberküloz öyküsü olmayan hastalarda ileoçekal bölge hastalıklarının ayırıcı tanısında tüberküloz enfeksiyonun da düşünülmesi gerektiğini sunmayı amaçladık.
