Colonic wall necrosis due to tuberculosis in HIV-seropositive patient.

We report a 40-year-old man with sloughing off of the colonic due to tuberculous associated with HIV infection. He presented with lump in the abdomen, distention and vomiting suggestive of intestinal obstruction. Proximal loop ileostomy with closure of colonic perforation was performed, with good recovery. This was followed by antitubercular chemotherapy.
