Primary Adenocarcinoma of the Endometrium Coincide with Tuberculous Lymphadenitis
Öz
Endometrial adenocarcinoma is one of the most prevalent carcinoma in women. Tuberculous lymphadenitis is one of the most common presentation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, involving usually lymph nodes in the region of neck and head, rarely in other regions of the body. In the literature, the coexistence of endometrial adenocarcinoma and tuberculosis have been reported to be scarce. But, we have not found any case who had both endometrial adenocarcinoma and isolated lymph node tuberculosis in abdominal cavity in the literature.
A 49-year- old woman underwent on the surgical operation due to the mass spotted in her uterin cavity. Pathological diagnosis of the mass was revealed to be grade 1 endometrial adenocarcinoma. In addition, a lot of enlarged and softened lymph nodes were observed in abdomen during surgical operation, being disclosed granulomatous inflammation in all and caseating necrosis in addition to multinucleate giant cells of Langhans in some through histopathological examination. Any finding referring to malignancy or tuberculous infection was not found as a result of pathological examination of tissue samples obtained from ovaries,myometrium, cervix, fallopian tubes and peritoneum. So, the case was diagnosed to be primary endometrial adenocarcinoma coincide with isolated tuberculous lymphadenitis. Antituberculous treatment was started to be followed for both diseases. The patient has completed a six month quadruple antituberculous treatment with no adverse effect.
