Abstract

We are reporting an unusual case of widespread abdominal calcifications, in the peri-colic mesentery, liver and spleen. The diagnostic laparoscopy showed multiple encapsulated calcified hard rounded masses of varying size and shape, with marked adhesions in and around the bowel and mesentery. Histopathology identified them as calcified lymph nodes, but was unable to highlight the pathogenesis of these calcifications. The diagnosis of post tuberculous calcification of lymph nodes is made on the basis of exclusion. The subject was reviewed, to the best of our knowledge, there is no similar case, with such an extent of abdominal calcifications reported in the literature.
