title: [Tuberculous involvement of the esophagus].
abstract: Tuberculous involvement of the oesophagus is a rare disease in our country. We report the case of a 76-year-old patient with tuberculous involvement of the oesophagus, who developped an oesophago-lymph nodes fistula. These fistulas are used to be treated by antituberculous chemotherapy. The surgical treatment is rarely needed.
