title: Oesophageal tuberculosis mimicking a tumour during treatment for nodal tuberculosis.
abstract: A patient with cervical lymph node tuberculosis developed a tubercular ulcer in the oesophagus eight weeks after starting treatment. This was probably due to a drug related hypersensitivity reaction in an adjacent mediastinal lymph node and subsided with continued treatment.
