Abstract

Introduction: The esophagus and duodenum are rare sites of manifestation for extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Its rarity makes the diagnosis challenging, especially when no other organ is involved, and the endoscopic findings may resemble malignancy.

Case presentation: We report a unique case of a 37-year-old woman who presented with dysphagia secondary to esophageal TB with an endoscopic appearance of a submucosal mass resembling malignancy.

Conclusion: Esophageal TB is a rare cause of dysphagia, especially in a western setting. It should always be considered as a potential etiology in patients with dysphagia.

导言:食管和十二指肠是肺外结核(TB)的罕见表现部位。其罕见性使诊断具有挑战性,尤其是当没有其他器官受累时,内镜检查结果可能与恶性肿瘤相似:我们报告了一例独特的病例,一名 37 岁的女性因食管结核继发吞咽困难,内镜下出现类似恶性肿瘤的粘膜下肿块:结论:食管结核是吞咽困难的罕见病因,尤其是在西方国家。结论:食管结核是导致吞咽困难的罕见病因,尤其是在西方环境中,应始终将其视为吞咽困难患者的潜在病因。
