Relato de caso de um paciente admitido no Hospital Universitário Clementino Fraga Filho com suspeita
de neoplasia pancreática, sem diagnóstico histopatológico, onde foi realizada biópsia duodenal e Tomografia
Computadorizada (TC) de tórax e abdome, tendo como diagnóstico presuntivo final tuberculose
pancreática com acometimento pulmonar (tuberculose miliar) e confirmado de tuberculose duodenal.
No presente manuscrito abordaremos os principais aspectos de tuberculose pancreática, uma entidade
rara e com poucos casos descritos na literatura. Discutiremos a importância de exclusão de algumas
patologias na suspeita de neoplasia pancreática. (AU)
We present the case report of a patient admitted to the Hospital Universitário Clementino Fraga Filho
with suspected pancreatic neoplasm, with no histopathological diagnosis. A duodenal biopsy and CT
scan of the thorax and abdomen were previously performed and the final presumptive diagnosis was
pancreatic tuberculosis with pulmonary (Miliary tuberculosis) and confirmed duodenal involvement. In
this manuscript we will discuss the main aspects of pancreatic tuberculosis, a rare entity with few cases
described in the literature. We will discuss the importance of excluding some pathologies in the suspicion
of pancreatic neoplasm. (AU)
