A 76-year-old Moroccan patient with a medical history of sigmoid carcinoma suffered from weight loss of 15 kg and abdominal pain. Laparoscopy showed disseminated miliary peritoneal lesions, prima vista suspicious for disseminated peritoneal cancer spread.
Patient's medical history was reprocessed and compared to recent literature via PubMed.
Pathological evaluation revealed granulomas and an infection with miliary intraabdominal tuberculosis (TB) was proven.
Symptoms of TB may vary and findings can be misleading. An interdisciplinary approach is needed for diagnosis and treatment.
一位 76 岁的摩洛哥患者,有乙状结肠癌病史,体重减轻 15 公斤,并伴有腹痛。腹腔镜检查显示弥漫性粟粒状腹膜病变,初步怀疑为弥漫性腹膜癌扩散。
重新处理患者的病史,并通过 PubMed 与近期文献进行比较。
病理评估显示为肉芽肿,证实患有腹腔粟粒性结核(TB)感染。
TB 的症状可能有所不同,检查结果可能会产生误导。诊断和治疗需要多学科的方法。
