A case of duodenal tuberculosis which simulated a malignant tumor is reported. The patient was a 43 year old female mulatto with diffuse abdominal pain, tumor in the epigastric region and nodules on the surface of the liver. The roentgenograms showed an ulcerative and hypoplastic lesion at the third and fourth portion of the duodenum. In the lungs were multiple nodular shadows simulating carcinomatous dissemination.
The differential diagnosis is discussed from a roentgenologic point of view.
