Primary pancreatic tuberculosis is rare, with this case being the first to meet all diagnostic criteria. This finding highlights the importance of considering tuberculosis in abdominal masses, even with normal chest imaging.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Abdominal tuberculosis (TB) is uncommon, especially primary pancreatic involvement.
  • Diagnostic criteria include positive skin tests, localized disease, and culture verification.

Observation:

  • A 71-year-old male presented with weight loss, nausea, and night sweats.
  • Initial chest X-rays were normal, but abdominal CT revealed a pancreatic head mass.
  • Laparotomy identified a multi-loculated abscess cavity.

Findings:

  • Cultures from the abscess grew Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
  • This case fulfills the diagnostic criteria for primary pancreatic tuberculosis.
  • This is the first reported case of primary pancreatic tuberculosis meeting diagnostic criteria.

Implications:

  • Highlights the need to consider pancreatic TB in unexplained abdominal masses, even with negative chest imaging.
  • Emphasizes the importance of microbiological confirmation for diagnosing abdominal TB.
  • Contributes to the understanding of rare presentations of tuberculosis.
