  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

 A 72-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with complaints of watery stool and fever. His tuberculin reaction was strongly positive with induration. Barium enema and colonoscopy at the first admission showed oval and irregular-shaped ulcers with the fold convergency and fine mucosal nodularity at the ulcer margin in the descending and transverse colon (Fig. 1). Longitudinal ulcers or cobblestone appearance, however, were not seen. These findings were most suggestive of large intestinal tuberculosis.

 His symptoms and abnormalities on barium enema improved once after the administration of antituberculosis agents. However, his symptoms recurred twice in spite of the sufficient dosages of antituberculosis agents and finally became refractory to the medication. Repeat barium enema and colonoscopy revealed that longitudinal ulcers, cobblestone appearance and narrowing developed gradually during his clinical course. Based on these findings of repeat barium enema and colonoscopy, Crohn's colitis was diagnosed.

 A subtotal colectomy was performed four years after the onset of symptoms. Macroscopic and microscopic findings of the resected specimen were compatible with that of Crohn's disease.
