Core Tip	Pancreatic tuberculosis (TB) is rare in immunocompetent or immunosuppressed hosts. We report a case of a 40-year-old immunocompetent host with pancreatic TB that mimicked pancreatic head carcinoma with obstructive jaundice. The patient had previously been operated on for thoracic TB and was receiving anti-TB therapy. We report this case to emphasize rare causes of pancreatic masses and obstructive jaundice, and to discuss alternate treatments for pancreatic TB.
