Primary Tuberculous Colitis Mimicking Colon Carcinoma In An Immunocompetent Patient
Journal Title: Türk Kolon ve Rektum Hastalıkları Dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 27, Issue 1
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.
