Core Tip	Esophageal tuberculosis is very rare, constituting about 0.3% of gastrointestinal tuberculosis cases. Esophageal tuberculosis presents commonly with dysphagia, cough, chest pain in addition to fever and weight loss. Complications may include hemorrhage from the lesion, development of arterioesophageal fistula, esophagocutaneous fistula or tracheoesophageal fistula. There are very few case reports of esophageal tuberculosis presenting with hematemesis due to esophageal ulceration. We report a patient with hematemesis that was later attributed to the erosion of tuberculous subcarinal lymph nodes into the esophagus.
