“…The common site of involvement is the ileocaecal region followed by the ascending colon and jejunum. The stomach, duodenum, distal colon and oesophagus are rarely involved 3. The rarity of gastroduodenal tuberculosis is due to the antibacterial property of gastric acid, continuous motor activity of the stomach and the rarity of lymphoid tissue in the gastric wall.…”

“…Ileocaecal region is the most common site (85%) followed by the ascending colon, jejunum, appendix, duodenum, stomach, sigmoid colon and rectum 2. Isolated involvement of the duodenum is uncommon (18%) 3. In areas where tuberculosis is endemic, diagnosis of gastroduodenal tuberculosis must be kept in mind, particularly in patients with upper gastrointestinal obstruction.…”

An unusual case of gastric outlet obstruction caused by tuberculosis: challenges in diagnosis and treatment

Gastroduodenal tuberculosis (GDTB) is rare in the West. Its presentation can be non-specific and often mimics other more common conditions such as peptic ulcer disease, malignancy and Crohn's disease. Our case describes a 33-year-old Indian immigrant who presented with a 3-year history of dyspepsia and underwent balloon dilation for gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). While biopsies from the duodenum revealed only non-caseating granuloma, a high index of suspicion was maintained and colonoscopy, performed despite the absence of lower gastrointestinal symptoms, revealed a single discrete nodular and ulcerated area in the proximal transverse colon; this eventually grewMycobacterium tuberculosis. Our patient avoided undergoing major surgery and was successfully treated with balloon dilation and antitubercular medication. We highlight the importance of having a concerted, proactive approach to diagnosis. We discuss the therapeutic challenges involving this rare condition and explain the rationale for high-dose antisecretory therapy.
