title: [The reappearance of gastrointestinal tuberculosis in general surgery].
abstract: Gastro-intestinal tuberculosis (TB) continues to give rise to diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Its increasing incidence and multiple and non-specificity of symptoms and signs require special attention to establish a prompt diagnosis and not to delay treatment. The authors describe on case of colonic TB presenting with multiple episodes of subocclusion suggesting a stenosing neoplasm of the caecum.
