A rare case of gastric tuberculosis presented with severe upper gastrointestinal bleeding. This unusual presentation highlights the importance of considering tuberculosis in patients with unexplained gastrointestinal issues.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) commonly affects the lungs but can manifest in other organs.
  • Gastric involvement in TB is infrequent, and upper gastrointestinal bleeding is an even rarer complication.

Observation:

  • A 26-year-old male presented with epigastric pain and rectal bleeding.
  • Endoscopy revealed an irregular gastric ulcer, and laparotomy showed disseminated yellow lesions on peritoneal and visceral surfaces.

Findings:

  • Histopathology confirmed granulomas with giant cells and acid-fast bacilli (AFB) in gastric biopsies.
  • These findings are indicative of gastric tuberculosis.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the atypical presentations of tuberculosis.
