title: An unusual case of obstructive jaundice.
abstract: Tuberculosis of the pancreas is a rarity, reported in a handful of literature. We enumerate the case of a young girl with high fever, jaundice, and right hypochondrial pain, whose investigations revealed a mass at the head of the pancreas. FNAC from the mass astoundingly proclaimed tuberculosis.
