Abstrakt: The paper presents a historical review of the literature on the rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis--gastric tuberculosis. It is more frequently associated with tuberculosis of other organs and observes as an isolated form. The disease has no specific clinical signs. It is diagnosed as gastric carcinoma or ulcer by X-ray and in most cases endoscopic studies. The diagnosis of gastric tuberculosis can be made only by histological study of the resected stomach or its biopsy specimen. Antibiotic treatment for tuberculosis yields a good effect.
