Primary perianal tuberculosis is a rare form of extra pulmonary tuberculosis. We present a case of perianal tuberculosis without any pulmonary or gastrointestinal involvement in a diabetic patient. Histopathological examination of perianal lesion demonstrated loose granulomas and positive staining for Erlich-Ziehl-Neelsen (EZN) stain.

Intestinal Tuberculosis With Recurrent Gluteal Abscesses and Perianal Fistulas: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Cureus
December 2024
Pharmacology, Universidade Federal do Vale do São Francisco, Petrolina, BRA.
This case is relevant for describing a rare presentation of intestinal tuberculosis with perianal manifestations, complicated by abscesses and recurrent fistulas. The clinical manifestations mimicked Crohn's disease and other inflammatory conditions, making the diagnosis challenging and requiring a differentiated and meticulous diagnostic process. A 45-year-old male patient presented with a chronic abscess in the left buttock lasting for two years, characterized by spontaneous purulent drainage and multiple recurrences despite surgical and clinical treatments.

Article Synopsis
- Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the intestines with symptoms like abdominal pain and diarrhea, and granulomas are the most recognized indicator for diagnosing it, though their detection can vary significantly.
- A case study of a 28-year-old woman with CD revealed both caseating and non-caseating granulomas, which improved with treatment.
- The findings suggest that caseous granulomas shouldn't rule out CD as a diagnosis, even in the absence of other conditions like tuberculosis, highlighting the complexity of diagnosing this disease.

Penile abscesses of the corpus spongiosum are rare in urology, with few documented cases. These abscesses may occur spontaneously or due to risk factors such as diabetes mellitus, intracavernosal injection therapy, tuberculosis, trauma, and perianal or intra-abdominal abscesses. This report discusses a 76-year-old man who developed a penile abscess involving the corpus spongiosum following intermittent self-dilatation.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the histopathological features of granulomas in perianal fistulas among Crohn's disease (CD) patients, finding notable differences compared to non-CD cases.
- Granulomas were identified in 41 patients, with a significantly higher detection rate in the CD group (26.9%) compared to the non-CD group (0.3%).
- The analysis reveals that granulomas in CD patients are generally smaller and lack foreign body giant cells, while the non-CD group shows larger granulomas predominantly associated with foreign body reactions.
