Pancreatic tuberculosis (TB) warrants heightened suspicion in individuals with pancreatic lesions and risk factors such as HIV, organ transplantation, or pertinent immigration history. We present a 38-year-old man who presented with hemodynamically unstable gastrointestinal bleeding. He was found to have pancreatic TB complicated by a duodenal ulcer with fistula. Following 1 month of antitubercular therapy, he experienced complete resolution of symptoms, healing of the duodenal ulcer, closure of the fistulous tract, and a decrease in the size of the pancreatic lesion as observed on imaging. Our case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic TB.
对于有胰腺病变且伴有如艾滋病毒感染、器官移植或相关移民史等危险因素的个体,应高度怀疑胰腺结核(TB)。我们报告一名38岁男性,他因血流动力学不稳定的胃肠道出血就诊。结果发现他患有胰腺结核,并伴有十二指肠溃疡形成瘘管。经过1个月的抗结核治疗,他的症状完全缓解,十二指肠溃疡愈合,瘘管闭合,影像学检查显示胰腺病变大小减小。我们的病例强调了胰腺结核早期诊断和治疗的重要性。
