胰腺结核是一种罕见的疾病。在影像学上很容易与恶性肿瘤或胰腺炎混淆。这可能会导致不必要的手术。由于这是一种可治疗的疾病，术前诊断是必要的。我们报告三例胰腺结核的诊断内镜超声。总之，内镜超声是胰腺结核的首选诊断方式，有利于高分辨率成像，以及组织取样进行染色、细胞学、培养和聚合酶链反应测定。
Pancreatic tuberculosis is a rare disease. It can be easily confused with malignancy or pancreatitis on imaging. This could result in unnecessary surgery. As this is a treatable disease it is imperative to diagnose this condition pre-operatively. We report three cases of pancreatic tuberculosis that were diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound. In conclusion, endoscopic ultrasound is the diagnostic modality of choice for pancreatic tuberculosis facilitating high resolution imaging, as well as sampling of tissue for staining, cytology, culture and polymerase chain reaction assay.
