Pancreatic tuberculosis: case reports and review of the literature.

S F Lo1, A K Ahchong, C N Tang, A W Yip.   

Abstract

Tuberculosis affecting the pancreas is rare. Its occurrence may pose a diagnostic problem in differentiating it from carcinoma of the pancreas. Two cases of tuberculosis affecting the pancreas are reported, illustrating the value of fine needle aspiration in such a situation. The response of the disease to antituberculous drugs was slow, but sure.
