Abstract

Pancreatic tuberculosis is a rare extrapulmonary location of this disease. It is reported the case of a 62-year-old woman who had signs and auxiliary tests suggesting cancer of pancreas head. Through the anatomopathological study, a necrotizing granulomatous infiltrate with giant cells type Langhans without atypia was found, dismissing the possibility of neoplasia.
