This case is relevant for describing a rare presentation of intestinal tuberculosis with perianal manifestations, complicated by abscesses and recurrent fistulas. The clinical manifestations mimicked Crohn's disease and other inflammatory conditions, making the diagnosis challenging and requiring a differentiated and meticulous diagnostic process. A 45-year-old male patient presented with a chronic abscess in the left buttock lasting for two years, characterized by spontaneous purulent drainage and multiple recurrences despite surgical and clinical treatments. Imaging findings revealed associated fistulous lesions, initially interpreted as possible inflammatory complications. The definitive diagnosis was confirmed as intestinal tuberculosis with perianal involvement through colonoscopy and biopsy, which revealed caseating granulomas. Treatment included a standard antituberculous regimen (rifampin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol), along with antibiotics and antifungal agents for secondary infections. Adherence to treatment was satisfactory, with progressive improvement in the fistulas. This case highlights the importance of a comprehensive differential diagnosis in extrapulmonary tuberculosis, especially with unusual manifestations. Multidisciplinary management was essential for therapeutic success and the prevention of recurrences.
该病例对于描述肠道结核伴肛周表现的罕见呈现具有重要意义,其并发脓肿和复发性瘘管。临床表现酷似克罗恩病和其他炎症性疾病,这使得诊断具有挑战性,需要进行鉴别且细致的诊断过程。一名45岁男性患者,左侧臀部出现慢性脓肿,持续两年,其特征为自发脓性引流,尽管经过手术和临床治疗仍多次复发。影像学检查发现相关瘘管病变,最初被解释为可能的炎症并发症。通过结肠镜检查和活检确诊为肠道结核伴肛周受累,活检显示干酪样肉芽肿。治疗包括标准抗结核方案(利福平、异烟肼、吡嗪酰胺和乙胺丁醇),以及用于继发感染的抗生素和抗真菌药物。患者对治疗的依从性良好,瘘管逐渐改善。该病例凸显了在肺外结核尤其是具有不寻常表现时进行全面鉴别诊断的重要性。多学科管理对于治疗成功和预防复发至关重要。
