One Case of Biliary Tract Obstruction Caused by Tuberculous Adenitis
Abstract
- Obstructive jaundice produced by periportal tuberculous adenitis in the absence of pulmonary tuberculosis is quite rare. We are reporting the case of a 58-year-old woman who presented with constitutional symptoms and biochemical evidence of biliary tract obstruction. By abdominal sonogram and CT scan, a mass around the head of pancreas and periportal area was detected. The ERCP showed fistula connected proximal common bile duct to lymph node. The patient underwent laparotomy and recognized tuberculous adenitis of periportal lymph node which caused biliary tract obstruction with fistula.
