RESUMEN
La tuberculosis gastrointestinal (TB GI) representa el 3-5 por ciento de todos los casos de TB extrapulmonar, reportándose que hasta el 20 por ciento de los sujetos con TB pulmonar presentan manifestaciones extra-pulmonares que incluyen enfermedades intra-abdominales, sin embargo, se desconoce la real incidencia del compromiso intestinal. La región ileocecal representa el sitio anatómico más frecuentemente afectado (85-90 por ciento), siendo actualmente la colonoscopía la herramienta diagnóstica de mayor utilidad. Se presentan los hallazgos morfológicos del examen post-mortem de una paciente en estudio por baja de peso y masa en región cecal. La necropsia realizada en la Unidad de Anatomía Patológica del Hospital Hernán Henríquez Aravena de Temuco concluyó una TB pulmonar bilateral con compromiso secundario intestinal y linfonodal.
ABSTRACT
Gastrointestinal tuberculosis (TB GI) represents 3-5 percent of all cases of extrapulmonary TB, studies report that up to 20 percent of patients with pulmonary TB have extra-pulmonary manifestations. However, the real incidence of intestinal involvement is unknown. The ileocecal region is the anatomical site most frequently affected (85-90 percent), and colonoscopy is currently the most useful diagnostic tool. Post-mortem morphological elements of the examination of a patient with weight loss and cecal mass are presented. The necropsy performed at the Department of Pathology of the Hospital Hernán Henríquez of Temuco concluded a bilateral pulmonary TB with intestinal and lymph node involvement.
