Abstract
#Pancreatic Tuberculosis is a rare entity. Here we present an
interesting case of pancreatic tuberculosis which was initially falsely
diagnosed as pancreatic cancer due to the imaging characteristics.
Tissue culture from the lesion later grew #Mycobacterium Tuberculosis thus diagnosing Tuberculus Pancreatitis. A 41-year-old female came to the clinic with a chief complaint of pain
in abdomen and later had nausea and vomiting for 2 weeks. There was no
fever. The patient was initially seen in another hospital where she was
diagnosed with #pancreatic carcinoma and referred for further management.
The only significant physical sign was #abdominal tenderness from past 3
weeks.
