Revisiting tuberculosis as a cause of gastric outlet obstruction: Insights from a case report

Gastroduodenal tuberculosis (GD-TB) is exceptionally rare. The clinical manifestations of gastrointestinal TB are diverse and non-specific, which makes diagnosis difficult, leading to delayed diagnosis and high mortality. As a peer-reviewer of <i>World Journal of Clinical Cases</i>, I would like to share my opinion on the article published by this journal. The patient had no family history of TB or contact with people with TB. Primary GD-TB presenting as gastric outlet obstruction and normal findings of thoracic computed tomography increased the difficulty of diagnosis and treatment in this patient. The diagnosis and treatment scheme of this typical case have reference value for the clinical treatment of GD-TB.
