Pancreatic Pseudotumor Tuberculosis: A Case Report

Tuberculosis is a communicable disease caused by the bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Approximately one quarter of the world's population is infected with M. tuberculosis and therefore at risk of developing tuberculosis [1]. The abdominal form is the third most common extra-pulmonary location and accounts for 3% of the different topographical forms in our country [2]. The pancreatic and peripancreatic location is very far from the frequency of peritoneal and intestinal lesions. It often takes on a pseudotumoral appearance, thus posing diagnostic problems that must be resolved urgently.
