The authors report a retrospective study of 6 cases suffering from gastroduodenal tuberculosis which occurred in our gastroenterology department during a period of 14 years. This affection is rare and set a lot of diagnosis problems with a gastroduodenal neoplastic affection because of its clinical polymorphism and its radio endoscopic aspects which are very confusing. The association with a localisation of another tuberculosis has been found in all cases and this allowed us to guide the diagnosis. The specific medical treatment by antibacillaires rely on histologic evidence, either by epidemiologic arguments, clinic, paraclinic and therapeutic evidence.
