CASE 757: ILEOCECAL TUBERCULOSIS, Dr PHAN THANH HẢI, Dr LÊ ĐÌNH TÍN, Dr LÊ VĂN TÀI, MEDIC MEDICAL CENTER, HCMC, VIETNAM.

A 48 year-old man with RLQ pain for 3 years.

Ultrasound detected terminal ileum wall # 9 mm thickening and nephrocalcinosis due to gout.


Colonoscopy detected a diverticule of the cecum.



But MSCT represented an ileum tumor with left kidney stone.




Operation removed the terminal ileum and the right colon.


But the result  of histopathology was an ileocecal tuberculosis.


In reviewing of his past history, the patient may suffer from lung tuberculosis.
