| Popis: |
We present the case of a 68-year-old man who presented dysphagia and weight loss over the previous three months. Esophageal transit showed extreme stenosis suspicious for neoplasia but which was revealed to be a granulomatous inflammatory lesion. Culture of the lesion revealed Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Chest x-ray showed pulmonary tuberculosis. Esophageal tuberculosis should be considered in patients with dysphagia and pulmonary tuberculosis. |
