Dilemma Continues – Abdominal Tuberculosis or Abdomininal Lymphoma
Journal Title: Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Tuberculosis is a disease that has long been there since ages and is a threat as it was. Abdominal tuberculosis is espacially common in endemic regions and with its varying and non-specific presentation may mimic a variety of disorders ranging from benign to malignant. It has a concealing effect as well and tends to mask diseases that are of entirely different character. All of this creates a diagnostic dilemma for the clinician. we present a similar case which was as non-specific as it could be. We presented here a patient who after undergoing more than 3 colonoscopies, being labelled lymphoma twice, registered for chemotherapy and most of the conventional tubercular markers being negative, still turned out to be a case of abdominal tuberculosis.
