Abstract

Esophageal tuberculosis is rare. In some cases, the clinical presentation of this infection may mimic esophageal carcinoma. Differential diagnosis may be difficult and may result in an unnecessary surgical therapy such as esophagectomy. In this report we document the endoscopical, radiological, histological and bacteriological features of esophageal tuberculosis in a 62- year-old woman. She was admitted to our hospital complaining of dysphagia and odynophagia. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed an ulcerovegetant lesion in the right wall of the esophagus suggesting esophageal carcinoma. Further investigation resulted in a diagnosis of esophageal tuberculosis. She was successfully treated by antituberculous chemotherapy. We suggest that esophageal tuberculosis has to be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of esophageal ulcerovegetant lesions

Özet

Özofagus tüberkülozu nadir görülür. Bazı olgularda, bu enfeksiyonun klinik prezentasyonu özofagus karsinomunu taklit edebilmekte ve ayırıcı tanısı zor olabilmektedir. Ayırıcı tanıdaki bu zorluk, özofajektomi gibi gereksiz cerrahi tedavilere yol açabilmektedir. Bu yazıda, 62 yaşında kadın olguda saptanan özofagus tüberkülozunun endoskopik, radyolojik, histolojik ve bakteriyolojik özellikleri sunulmaktadır. Olgu, hastanemize disfaji ve odinofaji yakınmaları ile başvurmuştur. Yapılan üst gastrointestinal endoskopisinde, özofagus sağ duvar yönünde, özofagus karsinomunu anımsatan ülserövejetan bir lezyon saptanmıştır. İleri incelemeler sonucunda olguya özofagus tüberkülozu tanısı konmuştur. Olgu, antitüberküloz tedavi ile başarılı bir şekilde tedavi edilmiştir. Özofagusta saptanan ülserövejetan lezyonların ayırıcı tanısında özofagus tüberkülozunun hatırlanması gerektiğini düşünmekteyiz.
