| Abstract;A 86-year-old female was admitted our hospital to examine an ulcerative disease of the descending portion of the duodenum. Upper gastrointestinal X-ray and endoscopic examinations showed a circular ulcer and the diverticula, which was adjacent to the ulcer and 25 * 21mm in size. Histopathological study of biopsied specimens from the ulcer bed demonstrated non-caseating granuloma containing epitheloid cells and Langhans' giant cells. An anti-tuberculosis therapy was effective and the patient was diagnosed to have tuberculosis of the duodenum. This case suggested that a duodenal diverticula influenced the infection of tuberculosis. (author abst.) |
