A definitive diagnosis is often established through surgical biopsy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>CASE SUMMARY<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>We report a previously healthy 21-year-old male who presented with epigastric pain and fever. Initially diagnosed with a pancreatic abscess and duodenal bulb perforation, the patient declined surgical intervention and was subsequently referred to our hospital. Abdominal computed tomography and endoscopy revealed a duodenal bulb perforation, esophageal and duodenal ulcers, and a mass in the pancreatic head. Endoscopic ultrasound with fine-needle aspiration identified a hypoechoic mass suggestive of TB. Cytological and histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis. The patient was diagnosed with primary pancreatic TB and started on anti-TB therapy. At the 1-year follow-up, the pancreatic mass had markedly regressed, and the patient had fully recovered with complete symptom resolution.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>CONCLUSION<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Pancreatic TB should be included in differential diagnosis; prompt endoscopic ultrasound-fine-needle aspiration and therapy enable recovery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3748\/wjg.v31.i41.110398","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,6]],"date-time":"2025-11-06T00:29:17Z","timestamp":1762388957000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Pancreatic tuberculosis: A case report and review of literature"],"prefix":"10.3748","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Cang-La","family":"Nima","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hua-Gang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qi","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2060","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7759\/cureus.82298"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jgh.13174"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000441-200201000-00010"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina58091165"},{"key":"B5","unstructured":"Bhansali SK.
