Pancreatic Tuberculosis: A Case Report

Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1

Abstract

We report a case of pancreatic tuberculosis. A 30 year woman who presented with abdominal distention, low grade fever, night sweats and anorexia for two month. She recovered with anti tubercular therapy. Pancreatic tuberculosis, in particular is extremely rare, and only a few cases have been reported. Diagnosis of pancreatic TB has always been a challenge, but radiological investigations and image guided intervention helped in the diagnosis and prevention of unnecessary laparotomy.
