Tuberculosis of the distal colon. A case report.
A case of tuberculosis of the distal colon is described. The presenting features and the sites of the lesions are unusual even in a country where gastrointestinal tuberculosis is common. Attention is drawn to the diagnostic difficulty encountered, as the lesion is often clinically and radiologically indistinguishable from amoebiasis, carcinoma or Crohn's disease.
