Gastroduodenal Tuberculosis Presenting as a Gastric Outlet Obstruction: A Case Report.

Abstract

Abdominal tuberculosis (TB) can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, solid organs, peritoneum, or lymph nodes. The diagnosis of abdominal TB is usually delayed due to a lack of specific clinical signs and symptoms and the mimicking of other intra-abdominal diseases. We present a case of gastroduodenal tuberculosis with peripancreatic lymph node involvement presented as a gastric outlet obstruction that was treated conservatively with anti-tuberculosis medications.
