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.
