Isolated Pancreatic Tuberculosis in Non-immunocompromised Patient Treated by Whipple’s Procedure: a Case Report
PANCREATIC tuberculosis (TB) is a rare disease and its diagnosis is difficult because of the lack of specific clinical manifestations. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have some diagnostic values in this disease
but it is easy to misdiagnose pancreatic TB as a pancreatic tumor.1 In this article
we present a case of non-immunocompromised patient developing an isolated pancreatic TB
report the CT and MRI findings
and the surgical procedure for it.
