Sequential Endoscopic Morphological Changes in Esophageal Tuberculosis
Abstract
A 38-year-old Bolivian man was referred for the evaluation of an esophageal subepithelial lesion discovered during a dysphagia workup.Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a subepithelial tumor-like protrusion in the mid-thoracic esophagus with apical erosion, causing luminal narrowing (Picture 1A-C).Because the lesion exhibited no obvious epithelial abnormalities, a biopsy was not performed at the initial endoscopy, and endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) was planned for histologic diagnosis.Computed tomography revealed a partially calcified subcari-
