The incidence of tuberculosis (TB) is rising worldwide, despite the efficacy of the BCG vaccination. Populations at greatest risk of contracting TB are migrant communities, as well as immunocompromised individuals. The diagnosis of extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) can often present as a diagnostic conundrum, due to its nonspecific and varied presentation, often mimicking inflammatory bowel disease or malignancy. We present a case of caecal TB in pregnancy, which resulted in caecal perforation, a right hemicolectomy, and severe preterm delivery. The aim of this case report is to discuss the diagnosis of extrapulmonary TB, as well as its subsequent management in pregnancy.

Proteus syndrome is a rare, multi-system, genetic syndrome characterised by atypical and excessive growth of skeletal tissue. Clinical presentations include abnormal musculoskeletal growth and cutaneous lesions. Due to its rarity, there have been a limited number of published case reports of Proteus syndrome. This is the first case report on the management of Proteus syndrome in pregnancy. We present the case of a pregnant woman with Proteus syndrome in her first pregnancy in a large teaching hospital and discuss the considerations and challenges faced in her antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal care.
