Mesenteric tuberculous lymphadenitis can mimic pancreatic cystadenoma. Imaging like ultrasound and CT scans, alongside fine needle biopsy, aids in diagnosis, though laparotomy remains definitive for recognizing this rare condition.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Mesenteric tuberculous lymphadenitis is an uncommon presentation of tuberculosis.
  • It can radiologically mimic other intra-abdominal pathologies, notably pancreatic cystadenoma.

Observation:

  • A case is presented where mesenteric tuberculous lymphadenitis mimicked a pancreatic cystadenoma.
  • Specific ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) scan features were crucial for suspecting tuberculosis.

Findings:

  • Percutaneous fine needle biopsy (FNN) can provide diagnostic material.
  • Laparotomy is highlighted as the most reliable method for definitive diagnosis of mesenteric tuberculosis.

Implications:

  • Accurate imaging interpretation is vital for differentiating tuberculous lymphadenitis from neoplastic lesions.
