Abstract

Tuberculosis of the pancreas is very rare, and isgenerally associated with miliary tuberculosis (1).The correct diagnosis is often missed if there is noevidence of tuberculosis in other organs (2). Therefore,it can present to the clinician as a difficult diagnosticdilemma. We present an extremely rare case of primary pancreatictuberculosis that was initially diagnosed aspancreatic tumor, in a non-immunocompromisedpatient who did not have miliary tuberculosis.
