  • Title: [Tuberculous mediastinal adenopathy in a child].
    Author: Grimfeld A, Thieffry JC, Gerbeaux J, Conso JF, Binet JP.
    Journal: Arch Fr Pediatr; 1977 Nov; 34(9):906-11. PubMed ID: 606191.
    Abstract:
    One case of mediastinal tuberculous lymph node with fistulae into the esophagus is reported in a 9 years old girl. The first symptom was the appearance of epigastric abdominal pain, with secondary dysphagia. The diagnosis was confirmed by histology after thoracotomy and surgical excision. Esophageal tuberculosis is rare and seems to be secondary to contamination from mediastinal lymph nodes. Treatment is always medical and often requires surgery.
