Pancreatic tuberculosis: case reports and review of the literature

S F Lo et al. J R Coll Surg Edinb. 1998 Feb.

Abstract

Tuberculosis affecting the pancreas is rare. Its occurrence may pose a diagnostic problem in differentiating it from carcinoma of the pancreas. Two cases of tuberculosis affecting the pancreas are reported, illustrating the value of fine needle aspiration in such a situation. The response of the disease to antituberculous drugs was slow, but sure.
