Abstract

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.

Abstract

Endometrium adenokarsinomu, kadınlarda en sık görülen kanser türlerinden biridir. Tüberküloz lenfadenit, ekstrapulmoner tüberküloz olgularının en sık rastlanan formlarından biridir; en sık baş ve boyun bölgesindeki, seyrek olarak da diğer vücut bölgelerindeki lenf bezlerinde tespit edilir. Literatürde endometrium karsinomunun genital tüberküloz ile eşzamanlı saptandığı az sayıda vaka bildirilmiştir.Ancak, endometrium adenokarsinomu ve izole abdominal lenf bezi tüberkülozunun birlikte saptandığı herhangibir vakaya literatürde rastlamadık.
49 yaşında bayan hasta uterus boşluğunda kitle saptanması nedeniyle operasyona alındı. Endometriumdaki kitlenin patolojik tetkiki sonucu, grade 1 endometrium adenokarsinomu tanısı konuldu. Operasyon sırasında batında izlenen çok sayıda, büyümüş, yumuşak kıvamlı lenf bezlerinin hepsinde patolojik olarak granülomatöz lenfadenit, bazılarında santral kazefikasyon ve Langhans tipi dev hücreler izlendiği rapor edildi. Uterus, salpenksler, overler, omentum ve serviksten alınan doku materyallerinin patolojik değerlendirmesinde malignite veya tüberküloz infeksiyonunu işaret edebilecek herhangibir bulguya rastlanmadı.Vaka, eş zamanlı izole abdominal lenf bezi Tüberkülozu ve primer endometrium adenokarsinomu olarak değerlendirildi; antitüberkülo tedavi başlanarak her iki hastalık için takibe alındı ve altı aylık antitüberkülo tedaviyi herhangibir yan etki görülmeksizin tamamladı.
