Abstract
We report two cases of gastric tuberculosis (TB) in Nigerians. The first case concerns an elderly man initially thought to have abdominal malignancy but was subsequently found to have extensive and complicated gastric TB coexisting with chronic peptic ulcer disease. The second case involved the extremely rare condition of gastro-bronchial fistula in a young woman. In contrast to previously reported cases, it was of tuberculous origin and pulmonary symptoms were minimal. Both cases were radiologically evident.Entities:
