    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Gastric ulcers can have diverse etiologies, with granulomatous inflammation being a less common cause.
    • Tuberculosis (TB) can manifest in the gastrointestinal tract, though gastric involvement is infrequent.
    • Giant gastric ulcers require thorough investigation to rule out malignancy and unusual infections.

    Observation:

    • A 63-year-old female presented with epigastric pain and a giant gastric ulcer on the lesser curvature.
    • Endoscopic biopsies revealed epithelioid cell granulomas with caseation, indicative of granulomatous gastritis.
    • Acid-fast bacilli (AFB) were not detected in biopsies or cultures, complicating the initial diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • Despite negative microbiological findings, the clinical presentation and histopathology strongly suggested tuberculosis as the cause.

  • The patient received anti-tubercular treatment.
  • Remarkable recovery was observed, with complete healing of the giant gastric ulcer after 3.5 months of therapy.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of giant gastric ulcers, even with negative microbiological tests.
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate anti-tubercular treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes in gastric tuberculosis.
    • Further research into the diagnostic challenges and optimal management of gastrointestinal tuberculosis is warranted.
