ABSTRACT
We report a 27 years old woman presenting with hematochezia. An upper endoscopy and colonoscopy did not reveal the bleeding site. Due to persistence of bleeding, the patient was operated, finding a fibrinous secretion surrounding bowel loops and a hyper vascularized concentric papular lesion. The involved bowel loop was excised. The pathological study of the surgical piece revealed intestinal tuberculosis. The patient started treatment for extra pulmonary tuberculosis.
