Abstract

A female presented to the physician with a history of right upper quadrant pain. Abdominal computed tomography (CT)scan demonstrated a multi-loculated solid lesion in the head of the pancreas concerning for a primary malignancy. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of the lesion was performed and cytology revealed no evidence ofmalignancy. The acid-fast bacilli culture was found to be positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and pancreatictuberculosis was diagnosed.
