Intra-abdominal tuberculosis (TB) is a rare cause of abdominal abscesses and lymphadenopathy in adolescents. Early recognition of this atypical TB presentation is crucial to avoid misdiagnosis and ensure appropriate treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Abdominal Surgery

Background:

  • Intra-abdominal tuberculosis (TB) is an uncommon form of extrapulmonary TB.
  • A 15-year-old male presented with progressive dyspnea and abdominal protrusion.

Observation:

  • A 15-year-old male presented with progressive dyspnea on exertion and abdominal pain/protrusion.
  • Diagnostic laparotomy revealed intra-abdominal tuberculosis with lymphadenopathy and abscess formation.

Findings:

  • Unenhanced and contrast-enhanced MRI demonstrated findings consistent with abdominal abscesses.
  • Laparoscopic imaging provided further characterization of the intra-abdominal lesions.
  • Differential diagnosis included fungal and bacterial infections, highlighting imaging challenges.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering atypical tuberculosis presentations.
  • Awareness of intra-abdominal TB can prevent diagnostic delays and incorrect therapies.
  • Radiological and clinical vigilance is essential for diagnosing rare forms of TB.
