The authors describe a case of gastric tuberculosis in a 23 years old African patient from Abidjan. Symptomatology included epigastralgia, post prandial vomiting, severe impoverishment of health state and dehydration. Endoscopy showed a pseudopolypoid diffuse gastritis with an infiltrated like mucosa. Endoscopic biopsy was carried out, but, because of clinical aggravation (epigastric muscular defense), the patient underwent a laparotomy before knowing the results of the biopsy. Gastrotomy showed an hypertrophied granulomatous hemorrhagic mucosa. By histological examination it was concluded in favour of a granulomatous gastritis with pan-parietal tuberculoid lesions without acid-alcohol-fast bacilli. The different causes of granulomatous gastritis were reviewed and a tuberculous etiology suspected. An antituberculous therapy was prescribed with excellent results on clinical and endoscopic standpoint one year after the treatment started. |
