A case of esophageal tuberculosis with unusual endoscopic feature. A 59-year-old man experienced epigastric pain and an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a bulging lesio n 0.5×0.6cm in size in the middle esophagus.

Biopsies revealed epithelioid granuloma with central caseous necrosis and several acid-fast bacilli.
