Background: Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the cause of 43% of the peripheral lymphadenopathy cases in developing countries. However, psoas abscesses are usually secondary to the extension of infection from an adjacent site. In the present study, we describe a case of abdominal and cervical lymphadenopathy and multiple abscesses due to mycobacterium tuberculosis. Conclusion: our patient presented with a group of uncommon extrapulmonary presentations including GI involvement, paraaortic lymphadenopathy and abscess formation secondary to tuberculosis that was aroused without any immunodeficiency context with hematogenous origin. He responded well to our therapeutic protocol.
