During the last decade the number of cases of abdominal tuberculosis diagnosed in Western countries has dramatically increased. There are many reasons, including the appearance of AIDS and the increased morbidity of people across the world due to the westward migration of many people coming from areas with a high incidence of tuberculosis. Oesophageal involvement is rare in tuberculosis, occurring mainly as an extension of the disease from the adjacent tuberculous lymph nodes. Fifty-eight cases of oesophageal tuberculosis have so far been reported. We describe a patient affected by oesophageal tuberculosis mimicking secondary oesophageal involvement of mediastinal malignancy.
在过去十年中，西方国家诊断出的腹部结核病例数量急剧增加。原因有很多，包括艾滋病的出现以及由于许多来自结核病高发地区的人向西迁移导致全球人口发病率上升。食管受累在结核病中很少见，主要是作为疾病从相邻结核性淋巴结的蔓延。迄今为止，已报告了58例食管结核病例。我们描述了一名患有食管结核的患者，其表现类似于纵隔恶性肿瘤的继发性食管受累。
