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.
