We present the case of an elderly woman who presented to the ER with acute abdomen. During surgery, a free perforation in terminal ileum was found so ileostomy and resection were made. Pathology examination reported intestinal tuberculosis, and plain thorax radiography showed a classic Ghon complex. We present a brief report of this uncommon entity. Keywords: Gastrointestinal Tuberculosis; Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infections; Ileostomy
