Abstract
- Gastrointestinal tuberculosis has steadily decreased. But, it can occasionally be found in South Korea. The prevalence of gastric tuberculosis is lower than the other gastrointestinal tuberculosis. It is usually secondary to pulmonary or intestinal tuberculosis. Most commonly, it is presented as an ulcerative lesion on the lesser curvature of the antrum, it's clinical feature being similar to that of peptic ulcer disease. Very rarely, however, it mimics submucosal tumor. And only few such cases have been reported. We report here with a case of gastric tuberculosis, which was initially presented as a submucosal tumor.
