Robin Kaushik1, Rajeev Sharma, Ashok K Attri.   

Abstract

Tuberculosis and carcinoma of the colon rarely coexist. We report 2 such cases and review the available literature. Since the potential for misdiagnosis is high in such patients and a preoperative diagnosis of coexistence is usually not possible, important questions regarding the management of patient with a diagnosis of either colonic cancer on tuberculosis need to be addressed.
