A patient with primary esophageal tuberculosis is described. The clinical presentation and barium swallow study was also suggestive of carcinoma of the esophagus. This was excluded on biopsy obtained at endoscopy. The patient had a good response to antituberculous therapy with complete resolution of the esophageal lesion without any residual complication. A brief review of primary tuberculosis of the esophagus, a rare condition, is outlined.
本文描述了一名原发性食管结核患者。临床表现和食管钡餐造影检查也提示食管癌。但在内镜检查时获取的活检结果排除了食管癌。该患者对抗结核治疗反应良好，食管病变完全消退，无任何残留并发症。本文还简要概述了原发性食管结核这种罕见疾病。
