Ibanda P Syiemlieh, L Sunil Singh, S Ranita Devi, Gs Moirangthem
Abstract :
Tuberculosis of the sigmoid colon is a rare disorder. In¬testinal tuberculosis is most frequent in the ileocecal area. In the absence of pulmonary or ileocecal involvement, colonic tuberculosis may be difficult to differentiate from neoplasm or Crohn’s disease by symptomatic, radiological and endoscopically means. Hence, we report a case of intestinal tuberculosis in the sigmoid colon, which is rare and was mistaken for colonic cancer during colonoscopy, with non–specific results on biopsy. The diagnosis was finally made when the histopathology report was received.
