Gastric Tuberculosis Associates with Gastric Carcinoma -A case report-

Abstract
|
|
|
The tuberculosis of the stomach is very rare disease and its association with gastric
carcinoma is more so. The diagnosis of gastric tuberculosis is usually made on the
histological basis not clinical findings.
This case of gastric tuberculosis was found incidentally after the subtotal gastrectomy
performed under the impression of stomach cancer. There was an ill-defined ulcerative
lesion at the lesser curvature.
Microscopically, poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma extended to the serosa and
typical tuberculous granulomas were found in the lesion of stomach and regional lymph
nodes.
Acid-fast bacilli were demonstrated by Ziehl-Neelsen stain in the granuloms of the
regional lymph nodes, and a case of gastric tuberculosis associated with gastric
carcinoma is presented here and briefly reviewed with the literature.
