Résumé
Colonic tuberculosis is rare. It accounts for 2-3% of abdominal tuberculosis. Clinical, radiological and endoscopic features are nonspecific. The diagnosis must be considered in front of chronic abdominal pain, vesperal fever and weight loss with on colonoscopy the presence of nodules or ulcers. The diagnosis is made on pathological findings. We report a case of an 82-year-old female patient with the diagnosis of colonic tuberculosis. The diagnosis were suspected on clinical presentation: chronic abdominal pain, fever and weight loss. The colonoscopy showed a nodular aspect of the left and sigmoid colonic mucosa and the pathology examination of the multiple biopsy specimens showed an epithelioid and gigantocellular granulomas with caseous necrosis. In front of a nonspecific clinical and endoscopic aspects, multiples colonic biopsies are mandatory to rule out differential diagnosis and confirm colonic tuberculosis. Clinical and radiological features of colonic tuberculosis are nonspecific. The diagnosis must be considered in case of abdominal chronic pain and general symptoms. The mainly differential diagnosis are colorectal cancer or Crohn's disease. We report a case of an 82-year-old female patient with the diagnosis of colonic tuberculosis.
