“…The authors connect this to the diagnostic similarity and similar clinical picture of these diseases. Sometimes PT is complicated by PA, which is frequently observed in patients with immunodeficiency conditions (in HIV-positive patients, diabetic patients) (Chavadi, 2015;Maulahela, 2020). Panic, Maetzel, Bulajic, Radovanovic & Löhr (2020) analyzed cases of pancreatic TB published from 1978 to 2017.…”

analysis of morphological and etiologic characteristics and clinical features of pancreatic abscesses on the basis of previous publications. Theoretical analysis and generalization, classification, analysis of scientific and methodical literature. The analysis of the literature was carried out using electronic scientometric database Scopus, Web of Science, Ulrich's Periodicals, Google Scholar, PubMed, Medline. We analyzed literary sources publicated since 1909, using the keywords, such as: pancreatic abscess, abscess of pancreas. Articles published in professional English-language journals were included. Were analyzed publications dedicated to acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, infected pseudocysts as a cause of pancreatic abscess. We analyzed scientific works concerning benign and malignant tumors of pancreaticoduodenal area, scientific papers concerning fish bone penetration into the pancreas. Causes of pancreatic abscess development such as trauma of the pancreas, thrombosis of a.lienalis and pancreas divisum were described in the publication for the first time. Other scientific works are devoted to infectious agents, diagnosis and treatment of abscesses. Pancreatic abscess is the body's response to pancreatic infection that is characterized by specific morphological structure and heterospecific etiology. Pancreatic abscess is the transition state that combines acute destructive (acute infected necrotizing pancreatitis) and chronic degenerative (a chronic fibrotic-degenerative pancreatitis complicated by the pancreatic pseudocyst) pancreatitis. Pancreatic abscess can be considered as the marker of chronization of inflamantory and destructive pathological processes that need etiologic authentication and further treatment.

Introducation: Tuberculosis remains a threat to global public health and is the top infectious cause of death globally. The burden of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is high, ranging from 15-20% of all TB cases in HIV negative patients while in HIV positive people, it account for 40-50% of new TB cases. Abdominal TB cases makes up about 3 % of all EPTB cases in India. In abdominal tuberculosis, Ileocaecal region is most commonly affected; solid organs like kidney, spleen and liver get involved with Tuberculosis much more commonly than the pancreas. Pancreatic tuberculosis is very rare even in regions with high prevalence of tuberculosis. Pancreatic tuberculosis most commonly aficts the region of the head and the uncinate process of the pancreas. It is often misdiagnosed due to low index of suspicion and masquerading of its symptoms as pancreatic malignancy. Case Presentation: A 67 years old male presented to the physician with a history of pain abdomen in umbilical region. Ultrasound whole abdomen demonstrated mildly bulky pancreas with ill dened hypoechoic lesion in the body region. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided ne needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of the lesion was performed and cytology revealed numerous acid fast bacilli with necrotic material in background of red blood cells. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan was done which was suggestive of well- dened non enhancing multiloculated lesions of body of pancreas with evidence of necrotic lymph node in pre and left para-aortic region. Antitubercular treatment was started accordingly. Conclusion: Pancreatic tubercuklosis may present as pancreatic abscess, pancreatitis,or acystic or solid pancreatic mass. The use of EUS-FNA has become essential tool in the evaluation of pancreatic lesion.
