“…Of the 12 case reports confirming abdominal TB in hernias, 11 of these were inguinal hernias. There is one case report confirming abdominal TB in the hernial sac of a 40-year-old patient with an umbilical hernia [ 6 ]. However, in aforementioned the diagnosis of tuberculosis was unexpected due to the unique presentation of the patient and was made because of the routine practice of sending all hernial sacs for histopathological examination [ 6 ].…”

Highlights Diagnosis of abdominal tuberculosis is challenging due to non-specific findings and clinical signs. A high index of suspicion of abdominal tuberculosis should be kept especially in endemic areas and for immune compromised patients who present with non-specific abdominal symptoms. Abdominal tuberculosis rarely presents as umbilical hernias with only 1 reported case in the literature. Routine histopathologic examination of hernial sacs should be considered in high endemic areas of abdominal tuberculosis.

Abdominal tuberculosis is a common form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Often it is difficult to diagnose due to vague symptoms and lack of clinical findings. Spigelian hernia is a rare type of hernia located in the semilunar fascia of the abdominal rectus muscular sheath. We report on a 19-year-old Greenlandic Inuit man with a spigelian hernia as the primary presentation of abdominal tuberculosis. Abdominal tuberculosis presenting with a spigelian hernia is extremely rare, and the case illustrates that tuberculosis may present in myriad ways. The incidence of tuberculosis in Greenland is among one of the highest in the world, and we also review the history and incidence of tuberculosis in this Arctic country.

Background: A variety of lesions either congenital or acquired affect the umbilicus. We present histopathological study of 55 umbilical lesions over a period of 40 months. Material and Methods: Histopathological features of 55 umbilical lesions were analysed. Data of patients was obtained from the hospital records. There were 45 adult and 10 pediatric patients. Results The most common lesion was umbilical hernia constituting 43 cases. We had six cases of vitellointestinal duct remnants (VDR), two cases each of umbilical granuloma and tuberculosis and one case each of patent urachus and epidermal cyst. Conclusion: Although rare, every lesion of the umbilicus needs histopathological examination since certain lesions like umbilical granuloma can be managed conservatively while others like VDR or umbilical hernia need surgical intervention. Also dormant tuberculosis can be diagnosed on histopathological examination of hernial sac.
