Abstract
A middle-aged woman presented with progressive dysphagia and weight loss was investigated. A stricture involving the lower third of oesophagus was identified but precise histology of the lesion could not be obtained even after multiple biopsies. The resected specimen showed histology consistent with oesophageal tuberculosis.
