Abstract
Cystic pancreatic neoplasms are tumors with malignant potential treated surgically. Isolated tuberculosis of celiac lymph nodes is rare, treatment of this entity being non-surgical. Radiological appearances of cystic pancreatic neoplasm and tuberculous peripancreatic lymph nodal mass is similar and difficult to differentiate. Here we present a case of mass lesion in the region of pancreatic head mimicking cystic pancreatic neoplasm which was actually abdominal tuberculous lymphadenopathy proven by biopsy.Entities:
