title: [Duodenal tuberculosis: a case report].
abstract: The authors relate the case of a duodenal tuberculosis shown by a pyloro-duodenal stenosis. They emphasize the absence of specific clinical, radiological endoscopic and histological manifestations. Laparotomy is in most cases necessary. The diagnosis is therefore affirmed out of the findings of peritoneal granulations or the extemporaneous anatomo-pathological investigation of lymphatic nodules.
