Abstract

The patient was a 68-years-old woman with main complaint of epigastralgia. She was hospitalized because upper gastrointestinography and gastroscopy revealed stomach cancer of ha +IIc type in the ventral wall of gastric vestibule. Culture of tubercle bacillus in stools was positive and Barium enema and colonoscopy also demonstrated the specific characteristics of colon tuberculosis in the transverse colon. We performed the operation with a strong suspicion of active colon tuberculosis, then, lymph nodes associated with tuberculosic inflammation were found at the root of the middle colic artery and the above diagnosis was established. Remission of colon tuberculosis was developed by postoperative chemotherapy.
