Abstract：
BACKGROUND:To review the clinical findings of pancreatic tuberculosis and to establish a differential diagnosis with pancreatic tumours. PATIENTS AND METHODS:To describe three cases of pancreatic tuberculosis diagnosed in a 850 bed teaching hospital during the last two years. RESULTS:In the three case the imaging procedures showed a pancreatic mass with hypodense area. One of the cases was erroneously initially diagnosed of a pancreatic tumour. In one case was diagnosed by a subcutaneous abscess puncture, in another by clinical suspicion and in third patient by laparotomy. Only one patient was immunosuppressed. All patients were cured with standard antituberculous therapy. CONCLUSIONS:Pancreatic tuberculosis should be considered in patients presenting with pancreatic tumours.
