Abstract

Peripancreatic tuberculosis affecting only the lymph nodes is a rare clinical entity which usually raises serious diagnostic problems. We experienced a case of surgically proven peripancreatic tuberculous lymphadenopathy mimicking pancreas cystic neoplasm and report here on the findings of this rare condition along with a literature review.

췌장주변 림프절만을 침범한 결핵 림프절병증은 매우 드문 질환이며, 흔히 영상의학적 진단을 내리는데 어려움을 줄 수 있다. 저자들은 췌장의 낭성종양으로 오인되었으나 수술로 췌장주변 결핵 림프절병증으로 진단된 1예를 경험하였기에, 이의 영상의학적 소견에 대해 기술하고자 한다.
