Pancreatic tuberculosis (TB) is a rare but important entity to consider when evaluating a pancreatic mass, especially in patients from endemic areas. Its clinical and radiologic features may mimic those of a pancreatic neoplasm, making it a difficult clinical diagnosis. We present a case of a 31-year-old Indian man who presented with fevers, night sweats, weight loss, and epigastric pain. Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a pancreatic head mass. Biopsy of the mass was consistent with pancreatic tuberculosis.
胰腺结核在评估胰腺肿块时是一个罕见但需要考虑的重要情况,尤其是在来自流行地区的患者中。其临床和放射学特征可能与胰腺肿瘤相似,这使得临床诊断困难。我们报告一例31岁印度男性病例,该患者出现发热、盗汗、体重减轻和上腹部疼痛。腹部磁共振成像(MRI)显示胰头肿块。肿块活检结果符合胰腺结核。
