Though Spontaneous enterocutaneous fistula over scar of a previous appendicectomy has been reported [5], this is to our knowledge first case presenting primarily as spontaneous enterocutaneous fistula over front of right thigh. Barium studies and CECT can show the actual tract of the fistula and also locate any associated pathology [6].…”

Abdominal tuberculosis is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children in developing countries. Primary involvement of appendix is very rare. Presentation is usually non specific and diagnosis is made in most cases on histopathlogical examination following appendicectomy. This to our knowledge is the first case of appendicular tuberculosis presenting primarily as spontaneous enterocutaneous fistula over front of right thigh. Barium meal follow-through was diagnostic. Appendicectomy was performed followed by anti-tubercular treatment which was curative.

ABSTRACT:One of the post operative complications of abdominal surgeries that lead to very high morbidity and significant mortality is the enterocutaneous fistula. Incorrect judgement by the surgeon for surgery and inadequate preoperative assessments often lead to this complication. Tuberculosis is one of the rare associating causes of it. Our case report is about a 22 year old female, who was operated by a gynaecologist without prior preoperative assessment and laded in post operative enterocutaneous fistula. After thorough investigations it was diagnosed as a case of tuberculosis. The diagnosis was made by bacteriological and histopathological examination of the faecal matter and the local tissues respectively.
