Abstract
|
|
|
Gastric tuberculosis is a rare disease. It usually occurs secondarily to another lesions and mainly in the lungs. Only a few cases of primary gastric tuberculosis have been report in the literature. Most commonly, gastric tuberculosis lesion
locates in
the lesser curvature side of the antrum. Therefore the clinical picture is similar to the peptic ulcer.
A 24-year-old women visited to the Inha university hospital complaining of vomiting and epigastric discomfort. Gastrofiberscopy showed multiple polypoid mass around the pylorus with stenotic pyloric channel. Subtotal gastrectomy was performed and
histologic examination revealed chronic granulomatous inflammation with caseation necrosis. That is compatible with tuberculosis. The patient was taken antituberculosis medication without complication. So we report the case of pyloric
obstruction
due
to gastric tuberculosis with review of the literature.
