“…Carcinoma in different parts of the colon with intestinal tuberculosis have been reported by Paustian [5]. In New York, Kaplan et al found tuberculosis complicating neoplastic disease in only 4 out of 6472 patients with carcinoma of the colon, accounting for a prevalence of 6/10,000 [6].Some Indian authors have proposed that the association of carcinoma of colon and tuberculosis is co-incidental.…”

“…Gastrointestinal TB is the sixth most frequent form of extra-pulmonary site, after lymphatic, genitourinary, bone and joint, miliary and meningeal tuberculosis. (18) In India, the organism isolated from all intestinal lesions has been Mycobacterium tuberculosis and not M. bovis. (19,20) Although any portion of the gastrointestinal tract may be affected, the terminal ileum is most commonly involved because of the relatively longer contact time of intestinal contents with the mucosa and abundant lymphoid tissue.…”

BACKGROUNDTuberculosis (TB) is one of the oldest diseases known to affect humans and a major cause of death worldwide. According to World Health Organization, incidence of TB is approximately 9.4 million cases per year, of which 1.98 million cases are from India and close to 500,000 per year die of the disease in India. It has been estimated that 2-3% of patients with abdominal TB have isolated colonic involvement. The diagnosis of intestinal TB is a challenge for physicians due to its diverse clinical manifestations that mimic other infectious diseases, autoimmune, and neoplastic disorders and therefore, a high index of suspicion is essential to reach the correct diagnosis. MATERIALS AND METHODSThis was a retrospective analysis of colonoscopic findings of patients with isolated colonic tuberculosis who presented between April 2015 -July 2016. All the patients above 18 years of age with suspected diagnosis of intestinal tuberculosis were included in the study. Patients with ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, microscopic colitis and indeterminate colitis or carcinoma colon, HIV positive patients were excluded from the study. These patients were taken up for colonoscopy and distal ileoscopy after proper preparation. The findings observed in any part of the colon with particular reference of any aphthous ulcers, granularity, deep ulcers, nodules, polypoidal lesions and luminal narrowings were recorded. A confirmed diagnosis of isolated colonic tuberculosis was made when there were caseating granulomas and or acid fast bacilli on biopsy samples. A suspected diagnosis was made when there was clinical suspicion, with family history of colonic tuberculosis, biopsy showing noncaseating granulomas with chronic inflammation and response to antitubercular therapy. Those patients who had confirmed or suspected diagnosis of isolated colonic tuberculosis were started on antitubercular therapy for a period of 6 months. RESULTSThe data of a total of 43 patients was retrieved from the records for this study. Out of these 43 patients, 6 patients were lost to followup. A total of 3 patients did not respond to the antitubercular treatment and were subsequently diagnosed as Crohn's disease on further evaluation. Finally, a total of 34 patients were evaluated in this study, out of which 22 were males and 12 were females. The minimum age in all these patients was 18 years with a maximum age of 79 years. The most common symptom of presentation was pain abdomen (91.17%) followed by anorexia (88.23%), Fever (73.52%), weight loss (70.58%), chronic diarrhoea (52.94%), constipation (26.47%) patients, mass abdomen (20.58%) and bleeding per rectum (14.70%) of patients. The colonoscopic findings were aphthous ulcers in 18 (52.94%), deep ulcers in 16 (47.05%), nodules in 19 (55.88%), luminal narrowing in 8 (23.52%) and polypoidal lesions in 5 (14.70%) of patients. The commonest site involved in our patients with isolated colonic tuberculosis was ileocecal valve with caecum in 29 (84.29%) of patients, followed by isolated ascending co...
