    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Tuberculosis (TB) commonly affects the lungs but can manifest in various extrapulmonary sites.
    • Colonic involvement in TB is infrequent, presenting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

    Observation:

    • A case of hypertrophic colonic tuberculosis caused by the human strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is presented.
    • The patient's presentation mimicked other colonic pathologies, necessitating thorough investigation.

    Findings:

    • The hypertrophic form of colonic tuberculosis is an uncommon but significant clinical entity.
    • Diagnostic confirmation relies on histopathological examination and microbiological culture.

    Implications:
