Abstract

The prevalence of tuberculosis is rising again. It can be seen in any organ system, but isolated primary colon involvement is very rare. Its symptoms are non-specific and may mimic Crohn's disease, adenocarcinoma or other infectious diseases. Diagnosis is challenging, especially in the absence of pulmonary tuberculosis. In this case report, we present a patient with isolated tuberculosis in the right colon who developed acute abdomen during hospital stay and underwent emergent right hemicolectomy.

Özet

Tüberküloz prevalansı yeniden artmaktadır. Her organ sisteminde görülebilir; ancak izole primer kolon tutulumu çok nadirdir. Semptomları spesifik değildir; Crohn hastalığı, adenokarsinom ya da diğer enfeksiyöz hastalıkları taklit edebilir. Özellikle pulmoner tüberküloz eşlik etmiyorsa, tanısı zordur. Bu olgu sunumunda, hastanede yatışı sırasında akut karın gelişen ve acil sağ hemikolektomi yapılan, izole sağ kolon tüberkülozlu bir hasta takdim edilmektedir.
