Abdominal tuberculosis typically affects organs diffusely. This case highlights rare macronodular hepatosplenic and focal pancreatic tuberculosis, demonstrating computed tomography

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) commonly affects the lungs but can involve abdominal organs.
  • Abdominal parenchymal organ involvement is often diffuse, but focal presentations are documented.
  • Hepatosplenic and pancreatic TB are rare manifestations.

Observation:

  • A patient with known pulmonary and vertebral tuberculosis presented with abdominal symptoms.
  • Computed tomography (CT) was utilized to evaluate abdominal organ involvement.
  • The CT scan revealed findings consistent with macronodular hepatosplenic tuberculosis and focal pancreatic involvement.

Findings:

  • CT demonstrated unusual focal involvement of the liver, spleen, and pancreas in a patient with disseminated tuberculosis.

  • The imaging findings, while not diagnostic, were highly suggestive of abdominal tuberculosis.
  • This case underscores the diverse presentations of abdominal tuberculosis.

    • Implications:

    • CT imaging plays a crucial role in identifying and assessing the extent of abdominal tuberculosis.
    • Recognizing rare focal patterns of abdominal TB on CT is important for timely diagnosis and management.
    • Further investigation may be needed to confirm the diagnosis and guide treatment for abdominal tuberculosis.
