[Tuberculosis abdominal lymphadenitis revealed by a duodenal stenosis].
Tuberculosis abdominal lymphadenitis is rare and exceptionally revealed by digestive complications. We report one case of digestive stenosis due to duodenal external compression by tuberculosis lymph nodes. Surgical resection of periduodenal lymph nodes was performed without gastric resection or gastrointestinal anastomosis. Medical treatment of tuberculosis was successful and the patient remains asymptomatic.
