Diagnosis by endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration of tuberculous lymphadenitis involving the peripancreatic lymph nodes: A case report

Figure 1 Abdominal computed tomograph revealed a heterogeneously enhanced, multicystic structure, 3 cm in diameter, cephalad to the pancreatic head.

Figure 2 EUS with a radial echoendoscope revealed a large, 2-2. 5 cm anoechoic, homogenous, well-defined mass which lay adjacent to the neck of the pancreas.

Figure 3 EUS-guided FNA of the peripancreatic lesion was performed using a linear-array echoendoscope.

Figure 4 Staining with Ziel Nielson within 30 min yielded a positive result for acid-fast bacilli.
