We have read the interesting paper recently published by Ali et al., March, 8 volume, 1 issue, detailing a case of pancreatic mass in a 40-year-old male presenting with important weight loss, abdominal pain, and fever for 2 weeks. He denied any other complaint, history of tuberculosis, or drugs assumption. Recently, we have observed a comparable case of pancreatic tuberculosis which in our opinion deserves a short mention, given the rarity of such presentation and the entailed diagnostic clinical and pathologic challenges, especially when dealing with patients coming from endemic areas for tuberculosis

Abstract
We have read the interesting paper recently published by Ali et al., March, 8 volume, 1 issue, detailing a case of pancreatic mass in a 40-year-old male presenting with important weight loss, abdominal pain, and fever for 2 weeks. He denied any other complaint, history of tuberculosis, or drugs assumption. Recently, we have observed a comparable case of pancreatic tuberculosis which in our opinion deserves a short mention, given the rarity of such presentation and the entailed diagnostic clinical and pathologic challenges, especially when dealing with patients coming from endemic areas for tuberculosis| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
