Abstract
Sections examined showed large confluent necrotizing granulomas in the pancreas and adjacent duodenal wall. The granulomatous inflammation was seen to affect both the pancreatic acini and ducts. Some of the dissected lymph nodes also showed necrotizing granulomatous inflammation. Special stains performed for acid fast bacilli (Ziehl Neelson and Auramine Rhodamine) did not reveal any bacilli. Based upon the histomorphology, a final diagnosis of tuberculous inflammation was given. Postoperative course of the patient was uneventful. She was started on anti-tubercular therapy.
