    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Tuberculosis (TB) typically affects the lungs, but extrapulmonary manifestations can occur.
    • Gastric tuberculosis is an uncommon form of abdominal TB, often presenting with nonspecific symptoms.

    Observation:

    • A 70-year-old woman presented with uncharacteristic upper abdominal complaints.
    • Endoscopic examination revealed multiple gastric ulcers and gastric wall thickening.
    • Histopathology showed caseating epithelioid granulomas and a single acid-fast tubercle bacillus.

    Findings:

    • The patient developed tuberculous spondylitis, a distinct manifestation of disseminated TB.
    • Treatment with anti-tuberculosis medication led to the complete healing of gastric ulcers.

  • The case illustrates the diverse clinical presentations of abdominal tuberculosis.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of gastric ulcers, especially in endemic areas.
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate anti-TB therapy are crucial for favorable outcomes in gastric TB.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis and diagnostic challenges of gastric TB is warranted.
