Pancreatic and splenic tuberculosis mimicking a pancreatic cancer with splenic metastases in an immunocompetent adolescent: a case report.

We present a case of pancreatic and splenic tuberculosis (TB) in a 15-year-old human immunodeficiency virus-negative patient who was initially misdiagnosed as suffering from a pancreatic carcinoma with splenic metastases. Pancreatic and splenic TB are extremely rare in young immunocompetent patients, with a nonspecific clinical presentation, making the diagnosis elusive.
