چکیده
Gastric tuberculosis is an uncommon disease and occurs as a primary or secondary condition (1). Gastric tuberculosis patients usually have concurrent pulmonary tuberculosis or an immune system deficiency (1-3), and as a result, it is particularly difficult to clinically and radiologically diagnose cases of isolated gastric tuberculosis (1-5). In this report, we present the clinical and radiological features of an immunocompetent patient with gastric tuberculosis, who was hospitalized for abdominal discomfort without involvement of any other system and with radiologic findings mimicking an infiltrative gastric tumor or lymphoma. Written informed consent was obtained from patient who participated in this case.
