Abstract:
Tuberculosis of the upper gastrointestinal tract is a rare pathology.
Stomach tuberculosis,
particularly, can appear as a subepithelial gastric tumor. We describe a
case of a Patient with tuberculous intraperitoneal lymphadenitis
mimicking the submucosal gastric tumor. An exploratory laparotomy was
performed, and the diagnosis was confirmed by frozen section
examination.
