Abstract Number: 106 RARE COEXISTENCE OF SMALL BOWEL LYMPHOMA WITH TUBERCULOSIS IN A YOUNG PATIENT PATIENT HISTORY • 22 year old male came with history of colicky, non radiating abdominal pain which was progressive in nature for 1 year with loss of appetite and loss of weight. • Melena for 6 months, vomiting for 3 months and low grade fever for 3 days. ON EXAMINATION • A mass was palpable in the umbilical and epigastric region • Firm to hard in consistency • Well defined borders • Was less prominent on leg raising • Mass was dull on percussion LAB PARAMETERS • Hb-11.4 • TC-11800 • DC N-71 L-25 E-04 ESR-110 UREA -26 CREATININE-0.7 NA+=128 K+=4.20 RBS-98. ALBUMIN-3.7 GLOBULIN-2.3 A/G RATIO-1.6 • • • • SER LIPASE-40 DIR BILI-0.1 SER AMYLASE-80 TOT BILIRUBIN-0.5 INDIRECT BILI-0.4 ALP-123. TOT PROTIEN-6.0 ULTRASOUND ABDOMEN • Small bowel loop showed circumferential bowel wall thickening. • Dilated and thickened small bowel loop with luminal narrowing SCANOGRAM - ABDOMEN • Scanogram shows dilated small bowel loops. CECT ABDOMEN • Long segment bowel wall thickening involving ilieal loops in the infra umbilical region for a length of 20cms with maximal wall thickness of 20mm. • Dilatation of short segment of bowel loops proximal to the thickened bowel was seen. • Irregularly marginated soft tissue density lesion with necrotic areas and foci of air noted in the mesentery in the umbilical region abutting the thickened bowel wall. • Multiple mesenteric nodes, largest measuring ~12mm were noted adjacent to the thickened bowel. AXIAL CECT ABDOMEN CORONAL CECT ABDOMEN SAGITTAL CECT ABDOMEN DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS • Differential diagnosis of - Lymphoma - Carcinoid - Adenocarcinoma were considered according to CT/CECT findings. SURGICAL MANAGEMENT • Patient was taken up for surgery and intra-operatively a mass was noted in the distal ilieal mesentery compressing the ileum 15cm from the ileocaecal valve. • Adjacent bowel wall thickening was noted. • Post surgically, differential diagnosis of 1.Adenocarcinoma small bowel 2.TB small bowel. 3.Lymphoma small bowel. 4.Regional ileitis. were considered by the surgeons. SURGICAL MANAGEMENT HISTOPATHOLOGY • Histopathology turned out to be B cell NonHodgkins lymphoma along with tuberculosis. • Biopsy was confirmed by immuno histiochemistry with CD 20 and CD 45 positive. • Treatment for intestinal tuberculosis differs completely from that of small bowel lymphoma. TREATMENT • Patient was started on chemotherapy and antituberculous treatment (ATT) concurrently. • Treatment: - Chemotherapy is the primary modality of treatment as it spreads by hematogenous spread. - CHOP regimen. 1.Cyclophosphamide 2.Doxarubicin(H-hydroxy daunorubicin /doxorubicin) 3.Oncovin. 4.Prednisolone. DISCUSSION • Intestinal tuberculosis is a specific chronic intestinal disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. • The clinical manifestations of small bowel lymphoma are nonspecific, such as abdominal pain, vomiting, weight loss and intestinal perforation. • Small bowel is second most frequent site of gastrointestinal tract involvement by lymphoma. • Ileum is most common site of occurrence because it has most lymphoid tissue • The coexistence of Tuberculosis and small bowel lymphoma coincidental, or one disease process might have initiated the other. DISCUSSION • TB and various types of malignancies can mimic each other and have atypical clinical and radiological expressions. • Further research is required to determine whether TB infection, being similar to other chronic infections and inflammatory conditions, may facilitate carcinogenesis. • Although new radiological imaging studies such as combined positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) have enabled clinicians to make a more accurate diagnosis, the ability of these disorders to clinically mimic one another may present a serious challenge in the establishment of the diagnosis. CONCLUSION • Non Hodgkin’s lymphoma may be preceded by chronic inflammatory disease and related to immunodeficiency. • Tuberculosis on other hand is a chronic infectious disease whose presentation and reactivation is promoted by cell mediated immunodeficiency. • The coexistence of Non Hodgkin’s lymphoma and Tuberculosis in same organ is rare.
