A woman with a duodenal ulcer underwent surgery. Gastric tuberculosis was diagnosed via histopathology showing granulomas and acid-fast bacilli, despite no prior tuberculosis history.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Duodenal ulcers unresponsive to medical treatment necessitate surgical intervention.
  • Surgical procedures included antrectomy, truncal vagotomy, and Bilroth II gastrojejunostomy.

Observation:

  • Histopathology revealed epithelioid cell granulomas with multinucleated giant cells and central caseation.
  • Gastric tissue samples from the pylorus and three isolated lymph nodes showed these granulomas.
  • Ziehl-Neelsen staining identified multiple acid-fast bacilli within the affected tissues.

Findings:

  • The patient had no history of tuberculosis or familial predisposition.
  • The findings indicate primary gastric tuberculosis presenting as a duodenal ulcer complication.

  • Microscopic evidence confirmed tuberculosis infection in the stomach and lymph nodes.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering gastric tuberculosis in differential diagnoses for non-responsive duodenal ulcers.
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial for managing gastric tuberculosis.
    • Further research into the epidemiology and diagnostic challenges of gastric tuberculosis is warranted.
