Ileocecal Tuberculosis was Incidentally Diagnosed after Ingesting a Blister Pill Pack.

Foreign body ingestion is a common occurrence, and most cases are uncomplicated. Nevertheless, foreign bodies can become lodged in narrow areas of the digestive tract, particularly in the presence of pre-existing intestinal lesions. This paper reports a case of a 49-year-old male patient admitted with intestinal obstruction. An abdominal computed tomography scan and colonoscopy revealed a blister pill pack impacting against a cecal mass. All attempts at endoscopic removal were unsuccessful. The patient then underwent a laparoscopic right hemicolectomy. A postoperative histopathology examination confirmed ileocecal tuberculosis. This case highlights the importance of a comprehensive evaluation in foreign body ingestion cases, considering the underlying gastrointestinal pathologies that may complicate management.
