Abstrakt:	Tuberculosis is an endemic disease in certain parts of the world. This disease typically presents in the lungs, but it may also appear within the abdomen, such as in the pancreas. There can be challenges in diagnosing isolated pancreatic tuberculosis as it may mimic other diseases radiologically. We present a 33-year-old female with intermittent abdominal pain and weight loss. Chest x-rays showed normal findings while noncontrast abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed a solid cystic mass in the pancreas and in the spleen. Contrast-enhanced CT showed an inhomogeneous cystic mass in the body and tail of the pancreas with peripheral rim enhancement. A laparotomy procedure was performed, and tuberculosis was confirmed histopathologically. In this case report, we highlight the challenging nature of diagnosing isolated pancreatic and splenic tuberculosis due to its presentation, which is similar to other neoplastic processes.
