Two rare cases of adenocarcinoma of the caecum and ascending colon concomitant with tuberculosis at the same site are reported. The plausibility of an aetiological relationship between the two pathological conditions has been discussed along with a review of the relevant literature. Tuberculosis complicating malignant disease is a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge; and the likelihood of the two occurring together should be kept in mind especially in tuberculosis endemic areas and in patients with equivocal symptoms.
报告了两例罕见的同时发生在回盲部和升结肠的腺癌和结核病例。讨论了两种病理状况之间存在因果关系的可能性，并回顾了相关文献。恶性疾病合并结核是诊断和治疗的挑战；特别是在结核流行地区和症状不明确的患者中，应牢记两种情况同时发生的可能性。
