Tuberculosis (TB) is a common disease that ranks as the second leading cause of death from an infectious disease worldwide, after the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, primary TB of the appendix is rare and may or may not be associated with specific clinical features. Thus, diagnosis is made only after histopathological examination. It suggests that all surgically removed appendices should be subjected to histopathological examination. This reported case is an uncommon case of chronic tubercular appendicitis.
结核病(TB)是一种常见疾病,在全球范围内是仅次于人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)的第二大传染病致死原因。然而,阑尾原发性结核较为罕见,可能有也可能没有特定的临床特征。因此,只有在组织病理学检查后才能确诊。这表明所有手术切除的阑尾都应进行组织病理学检查。本报告的病例是一例罕见的慢性结核性阑尾炎。
