title: [Ileocecal tuberculosis as rare differential diagnosis of lower abdominal tumor].
abstract: Tuberculosis is extremely rare in Germany today. Diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis has proved to be particularly difficult and a correct diagnosis can take months. The danger of fatality is high. In the case of a 29 year old male paraplegic patient suffering from enteral tuberculosis, diagnosis was possible only after several weeks of onward observation, extreme physical degeneration and finally, a laparotomy.
