    Tuberculosis of the intestinal tract is rare, typically affecting the ileocecal region. This case highlights duodenal tuberculosis, a rare condition diagnosed via laparotomy and biopsy, even with advanced imaging.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Abdominal Surgery

    Background:

    • Intestinal tuberculosis is uncommon in the US, with most cases localized to the ileocecal region.
    • Duodenal tuberculosis is exceptionally rare, often presenting without concurrent pulmonary disease.

    Observation:

    • A unique case of isolated duodenal tuberculosis is presented.
    • Diagnostic modalities including fiberoptic endoscopy, ultrasonography, and CT scans were employed.
    • Definitive diagnosis necessitated exploratory laparotomy with biopsy.

    Findings:

    • The presented case underscores the diagnostic challenges of rare gastrointestinal tuberculosis presentations.
    • Review of 49 prior duodenal tuberculosis cases provides context on clinical features and diagnostic approaches.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering rare diagnoses in gastrointestinal pathology.
    • Emphasizes the role of surgical exploration and biopsy in confirming elusive diagnoses.
    • Contributes to the understanding of clinical manifestations and diagnostic strategies for duodenal tuberculosis.
