  • Title: Primary tuberculosis of the esophagus: pseudotumoral presentation.
    Author: Laajam MA.
    Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 1984 Nov; 79(11):839-41. PubMed ID: 6507404.
    Abstract:
    A patient with primary esophageal tuberculosis is described. The clinical presentation and barium swallow study was also suggestive of carcinoma of the esophagus. This was excluded on biopsy obtained at endoscopy. The patient had a good response to antituberculous therapy with complete resolution of the esophageal lesion without any residual complication. A brief review of primary tuberculosis of the esophagus, a rare condition, is outlined.
