| Popis: | Esophageal tuberculosis is rare, and its association with intramural pseudodiverticulosis is not widely appreciated. We report a patient with dysphagia who proved to have esophageal narrowing, mediastinal lymphadenopathy, and intramural pseudodiverticulosis. Results of endoscopy and biopsy were nonspecific, but biopsy of the supraclavicular node showed histology consistent with tuberculosis. The patient experienced a dramatic response to antitubercular therapy, with resolution of the esophageal narrowing, mediastinal lymphadenopathy, and esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis. |
