[Esophageal tuberculosis].

    Summary

    Esophageal tuberculosis is rare and often secondary to other infections. Diagnosis can be challenging, with a case report highlighting delayed identification until a soft tissue abscess developed.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pulmonology

    Background:

    • Tuberculosis (TB) of the esophagus is an uncommon condition, frequently arising as a secondary manifestation of TB in other organs.
    • Macroscopic examination reveals three forms: hyperplastic, granular, and ulcerative.

    Observation:

    • Clinical presentation lacks specific symptoms, signs, and characteristic radiological or laboratory findings.
    • Bioptic specimen examination often fails to confirm the diagnosis.
    • A case of ulcerative esophageal TB is presented, detailing the clinical course and diagnostic difficulties.

    Findings:

    • Diagnosis was ultimately established following the appearance of a secondary soft tissue abscess.
    • This case underscores the diagnostic challenges associated with esophageal tuberculosis.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the need for heightened clinical suspicion in cases with non-specific symptoms and negative initial investigations.
    • Suggests that the development of secondary complications, such as abscesses, may be crucial diagnostic clues.
    • Emphasizes the importance of considering rare diagnoses like esophageal TB, especially in endemic regions.
