Isolated mediastinal tuberculous lymphadenitis is clinically rare. Its clinical presentation may mimic an esophageal submucosal tumor by extrinsic compression. A 26-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for an esophageal subepithelial tumor. A 15×10 mm sized subepithelial lesion was found 30 cm from the upper incisors on esophagogastroduodenoscopy. We diagnosed the lesion as a submucosal tumor, and performed endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration for a pathologic diagnosis. The histologic examination revealed granulomatous inflammation consistent with tuberculosis. We suggest that the use of endoscopic ultrasonography and fine needle aspiration may be helpful in making an early diagnosis and planning for an optimal treatment.

D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.
