An unusual cause of dysphagia in a young adult

We report a case of a young woman who presented to our institution with  recent-onset  dysphagia. At  oesophagogastroduodenoscopy  an  oesophageal ulcer  was  found.  Biopsies  revealed  changes  consistent  with  granulomatous inflammation. A  diagnosis  of  oesophageal  tuberculosis  was  made  and,  following anti-tuberculous medication, the ulcer and symptoms completely resolved.
