ABSTRACT
Isolated mediastinal tuberculous lymphadenitis is clinically rare. Its clinical presentation may mimic an esophageal submucosal tumor by extrinsic compression. A 26-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for an esophageal subepithelial tumor. A 15×10 mm sized subepithelial lesion was found 30 cm from the upper incisors on esophagogastroduodenoscopy. We diagnosed the lesion as a submucosal tumor, and performed endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration for a pathologic diagnosis. The histologic examination revealed granulomatous inflammation consistent with tuberculosis. We suggest that the use of endoscopic ultrasonography and fine needle aspiration may be helpful in making an early diagnosis and planning for an optimal treatment.
