title: [Esophageal tuberculosis: case report].
abstract: Tuberculosis is an endemic pathology in our country and affects between 0.4% and 5% of the digestive system but rarely affects the esophageal system (0.15%). Generally, esophageal tuberculosis is secondary to other organs. A case of a patient diagnosed with esophageal tuberculosis is presented. This patient had dysphagia and odynophagia, and the endoscopic examination disclosed the existence of an esophageal ulcer. The anatomical pathological examination was compatible with esophageal Tuberculosis.
