Fine needle aspiration diagnosis of isolated pancreatic tuberculosis: A case report

Figure 1 Contrast-enhanced computerized tomography of abdomen showing bulky pancreas (A), retro pancreatic lymphadenopathy (B) and hypodense lesion in the body and tail of the pancreas (3. 5 cm × 2.4 cm) with peripheral enhancement.

Figure 2 CT guided fine-needle aspiration cytology from the pancreatic lesion shows collection of epitheloid cells (inset) forming granuloma along with pancreatic ductal and acinar cells with patchy necrotic material (Giemsa staining) (A), Ziehl-Neelsen stain showing acid fast bacilli in the background of proteinaceous material (B).
