Extrapulmonary tuberculosis accounts for a growing proportion of all tuberculosis cases, due to the increasing incidence of HIV. Tuberculosis of the gastro-duodenal region is rare. It may manifest as a syndrome of upper digestive stenosis, evolving against a background of progressive deterioration in general condition. Diagnosis is based on biopsy specimens taken during meticulous upper digestive endoscopy. Treatment is usually medical, but surgery may be necessary in some cases. We report a case of duodenal stenosis of tuberculous origin in a 15-year-old female patient, which posed diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
