    Gastrointestinal tuberculosis is a rare condition, often affecting the ileocecal region but sometimes the esophagus. Its varied symptoms can delay diagnosis, particularly without lung involvement.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pulmonology

    Background:

    • Gastrointestinal tuberculosis (GIT) is an uncommon manifestation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
    • While typically involving the ileocecal region, GIT can affect any part of the digestive tract.

    Observation:

    • Esophageal involvement in GIT is exceptionally rare.
    • The study presents three cases: two with esophageal tuberculosis and one with ileocecal tuberculosis.

    Findings:

    • Protean clinical presentations of GIT often lead to diagnostic delays.
    • Absence or misinterpretation of pulmonary symptoms can exacerbate diagnostic challenges.

    Implications:

    • Increased awareness of rare GIT presentations is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.
