Localized hepatic tuberculosis (TB) with or without bile duct involvement is a rare form of hepatobiliary tuberculosis; accounting for less than 1% of all tuberculous infections. We report an uncommon case of cholestatic jaundice with disseminated TB in an immunocompetent male who presented with simultaneous involvement of liver and biliary system.

Hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) tuberculosis (TB) is a rare form of extra-pulmonary TB that poses a diagnostic dilemma and is a great masquerader of malignancy. It is almost always curable but requires a high degree of suspicion and corroboratory evidence to document its existence.

Article Synopsis
- Gallbladder TB (GBTB) is a rare disease that can mimic symptoms of other conditions like gallbladder cancer and cholecystitis, leading to misdiagnosis.
- A 33-year-old woman presented with obstructive jaundice and was initially thought to have advanced gallbladder carcinoma, but biopsies revealed it was actually infiltrative GBTB, confirmed by additional tests.
- The diagnosis of GBTB can be challenging due to non-specific symptoms, and physicians should consider it in TB-prone areas to avoid surgical misdiagnosis.

The pancreatic form of tuberculosis (TB) is rare and its diagnosis is challenging, since it manifests itself with non-specific symptoms and non-pathognomonic radiological findings, mimicking a neoplasia of the pancreas. Here, we report the case of a patient who had previously undergone liver transplantation and sought care for abdominal pain, weight loss, anorexia, hematochezia and postprandial fullness. Following an exploratory laparotomy and nucleic acid amplification testing on a pancreatic sample that had been collected, the patient was diagnosed with pancreatic TB.
