چکیده
S24 ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND / VOLUME 6 / SUPPLEMENT 1 / AUGUST 2017 free for the last 1 year. Discussion and Conclusion: Biliary ascariasis is a common occurrence in endemic regions and is causally associated with biliary colic, acute cholangitis, acute pancreatitis and its complications, recurrent pyogenic cholangitis, acute cholecystitis, and liver abscess. Secondary to smaller duct diameter, migration of A. lumbricoides into the pancreatic duct is uncommon. Even in highly endemic areas such as Kashmir, India, pancreatic ascariasis was rare and represented only 1.4% of all hepatobiliopancreatic ascariasis. Endoscopy ultrasound is a useful modality in diagnosis and management of patients with pancreatic ascariasis. DOI: 10.4103/2303-9027.212354

متن کاملIsolated pancreatic tuberculosis masquerading as pancreatic cancer
Isolated pancreatic tuberculosis (TB) remains a rarity despite the high incidence of tuberculosis in many of the African and Asian countries. Presentation as discrete pancreatic mass often masquerades as pancreatic neoplasm and diagnosis may require histology. Extra-hepatic portal hypertension due to splenic vein thrombosis complicating pancreatic TB has been reported in the literature. We repo...
متن کاملIsolated pancreatic tuberculosis diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration: a case report.
CONTEXT Pancreatic tuberculosis is an extremely rare clinical entity, despite the high prevalence of tuberculosis worldwide. The pancreas is protected from direct environmental exposure; therefore most cases of pancreatic tuberculosis arise from contiguous infection from peri-pancreatic lymph nodes or rarely from hematogenous spread. Pancreatic tuberculosis can present as a cystic or solid panc...
