Abstract Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) is the causative agent of TB, a chronic granulomatous illness. This disease is prevalent in low-income countries, posing a significant global health challenge. Gastrointestinal TB is one of the three forms. The disease can mimic other intra-abdominal conditions, leading to delayed diagnosis owing to the absence of specific symptoms. While gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) remains a frequent complication, its incidence has declined with the advent of proton pump inhibitors and eradication therapy. Gastroduodenal TB can cause upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, obstruction, and malignancy-like tumors. A 23-year-old male presented with recurrent epigastric pain, distension, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss, prompting a referral to a gastroenterologist clinic. Endoscopic examination revealed distorted gastric mucosa and signs of chronic inflammation. However, treatment was interrupted, possibly owing to vomiting or comorbidities such as human immunodeficiency virus infection or diabetes. Subsequent surgical intervention revealed a dilated stomach and diffuse thickening of the duodenal wall. Resection revealed gastric wall effacement with TB. Primary gastric TB is rare, frequently leading to GOO. Given its rarity, suspicions should be promptly raised when encountering relevant symptoms, often requiring surgical intervention for diagnosis and treatment.

BACKGROUND Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) is the causative agent of TB, a chronic granulomatous illness. This disease is prevalent in low-income countries, posing a significant global health challenge. Gastrointestinal TB is one of the three forms. The disease can mimic other intra-abdominal conditions, leading to delayed diagnosis owing to the absence of specific symptoms. While gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) remains a frequent complication, its incidence has declined with the advent of proton pump inhibitors and Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy. Gastroduodenal TB can cause upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, obstruction, and malignancy-like tumors. CASE SUMMARY A 23-year-old male presented with recurrent epigastric pain, distension, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss, prompting a referral to a gastroenterologist clinic. Endoscopic examination revealed distorted gastric mucosa and signs of chronic inflammation. However, treatment was interrupted, possibly owing to vomiting or comorbidities such as human immunodeficiency virus infection or diabetes. Subsequent surgical intervention revealed a dilated stomach and diffuse thickening of the duodenal wall. Resection revealed gastric wall effacement with TB. CONCLUSION Primary gastric TB is rare, frequently leading to GOO. Given its rarity, suspicions should be promptly raised when encountering relevant symptoms, often requiring surgical intervention for diagnosis and treatment.
