| Core Tip |
Treatment for intestinal tuberculosis (ITB) differs completely from that for primary small intestinal lymphoma (PSIL). Differentiating ITB from PSIL continues to be a challenge. Combined evaluation of clinical, radiological, endoscopic and pathological features is the key to differentiation between ITB and PSIL. For example, night sweating, ascites, ring-like and rodent-like ulcers, granuloma, multi-segmental lesions, mural stratification, necrotic lymph nodes, comb sign, and inflammatory mass are more suggestive of ITB. However, abdominal mass, hematochezia, enterorrhagia, raised lesions, single-layer thickening of bowel wall, single segmental lesions, and intussusception are more suggestive of PSIL. |
