Abstract
Peripancreatic lymph node tuberculosis is a rare disease. Correct diagnosis is a challenge, and endoscopic ultrasound and fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNB) allow rapid diagnosis with high precision. In this report, we present a 45-year-old female patient with abdominal pain and the presence of peripancreatic adenopathy who underwent FNB, which diagnosed peripancreatic lymph node tuberculosis.
