Abstract:【Objective】 To explore the clinical features of esophageal tuberculosis, endoscopic performance, the way of diagnosis and treatment; to improve the diagnosis rate of the disease. 【Methods】 A retrospective analysis of 4 cases of esophageal tuberculosis patients who were treated in our department from 2009 to 2012 and literature reviewed. 【Results】 4 cases, 2 of them presented swallowing pain, 2 cases had swallowing choked feelings, one case accompanied with symptoms of night sweats; All cases showed protruded lesions by endoscopic, 2 combined with ulcer, 3 cases have been confirmed by repeated biopsy, one has been confirmed by the resection specimen through endoscopic minimally invasive surgery. All of them have been treated with anti-TB therapy for 12 months, and were mitigated and completely cured; and 10 months to 3 year’s follow-up afterwards revealed no dysphagia symptom or recurrence of tuberculosis. 【Conclusion】 Dysphagia is the major clinical symptom of esophageal tuberculosis. The focus of medical history, joint laboratory examinations, especially gastrointestinal endoscopy results and biopsy outcome are all helpful to the diagnosis, and anti-TB treatment has good effect as well.
