ABSTRACT
Tuberculosis is an important problem in the world and Iran. Tuberculosis is an ancient disease but because of different presentations is a mysterious disease too. A 20-year-old girl who complained of abdominal pain with peptic ulcer and weight loss was admitted in our hospital. Since 4 months ago before referring, she had been treated many times for peptic ulcer including treatment for helicobacter pylori. Then endoscopy and biopsy were done. In endoscopy one ulcer in antrum with malignant appearance was observed. At biopsy granulomatous inflammation compatible with tuberculosis reported. She was treated by anti-tuberculosis drug for six months. Endoscopy repeated after 2 months of therapy showed completely normal pattern and she had 5 kg weight gain and totally symptom free after completion of therapy. Gastric TB should be considered for differential diagnosis of patient with gastric symptoms in endemic regions
