Esophageal tuberculosis secondary to tuberculous mediastinal lymphadenopathy is a very unusual presentation of adult tuberculosis. We report a patient presenting with fever of unknown origin and dysphagia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The remaining two cases had a past history of tuberculosis; one presented with cervicallymphadenopathy and one mediastinal lymphadenopathy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
After antituberculous chemotherapy for six months, the mediastinal and cervicallymphadenopathy were reduced in size and the esophageal ulceration almost disappeared.[jstage.jst.go.jp]

Here, we report a case of isolated colonic tuberculosis where the initial diagnostic workup was suggestive of Crohn's disease.[gastrointestinalatlas.com]
Interventions used included endoscopy, EUS, EUS-FNA (fine needle aspiration) followed by antituberculosis treatment. The main outcome measurements were symptoms, endoscopic features, EUS features, pathological yield, and response to treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Jain et al. reviewed 2176 patients with over 6-week dysphagia and found only 12 confirmed cases of tuberculosis as etiology of the symptom [9].[scielo.br]
