Abstract
Gastrointestinal tuberculosis (TB) is a rare disease and only involves the duodenum in 2-2,5% of all cases. A 60-year-old female with no reported medical history, presented with constitutional syndrome with a 10 kg weight loss in three months, epigastric pain, bloating and vomiting. She denied fever or respiratory symptoms. Laboratory examination revealed elevated C-reactive protein levels and low prealbumin. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed duodenal wall thickening, mainly in its third part, with infiltration of the root of the mesentery and numerous subcentimeter adenopathies at that level.
