Abstract

A 17-year-old boy was operated on for gastric outlet obstruction; laparotomy revealed a mass with nodules in the first part of the duodenum and multiple mesenteric lymph nodes. The histopathological examination of the duodenal mass and the lymph nodes showed caseating tuberculosis. Because of the rarity of duodenal tuberculosis, the case is reported herewith.
