Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed marked enlargement of the papilla of Vater surrounded by nodules, and biopsy disclosed non-caseating granuloma. Colonoscopy yielded findings suggestive of intestinal tuberculosis such as annular ulcers. Examination of the biopsy samples failed to make a diagnosis of tuberculosis, and no pulmonary lesion was found, but whole-blood interferon gamma release assay was positive. The duodenal lesion was also suspected to be tubercular, so antitubercular drugs were administered. As this resulted in the resolution of both lesions, a definite diagnosis of tubercular papillitis of Vater was made. Duodenal tuberculosis is rare, and a localized lesion of the major duodenal papilla is extremely rare. However, this case suggests that tuberculosis must be considered in the differential diagnosis of lesions of the papilla of Vater.展开更多
