Abstract
Pancreatic tuberculosis (PTB) is a rare, chronic, specific and infectious disease which is generally secondary to tuberculosis at the common sites of pancreas, and it has a high misdiagnosis rate due to the hidden onset and non-specific symptoms of PTB. A patient with PTB was admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University in June 2014. Before operation, the space-occupying lesions of the head of pancreas were detected by preoperative imaging examination, and the patient was regarded as with pancreatic cancer. Intraoperative exploration showed cystic duct involvement, and the granulomatous inflammation was detected by rapid pathological examination using frozen section technique, after that the patient received granuloma resection + cholecystectomy according to suspected PTB. The diagnosis of PTB was confirmed by post-operative pathological examination, and the patient received liver-protective and anti-tuberculosis treatments after discharge.
