Abstract EN
Tuberculosis as a cause of obstructive jaundice is a rare entity with only a few cases reported in the literature.
Patients with this condition usually present with a protracted illness, jaundice, and weight loss, which may be confused with malignancies.
We are reporting unusual case of isolated enlarged tuberculous lymph node compressing the common bile duct in the retropancreatic region and causing obstructive jaundice in an immunocompetent patient which to the best of our knowledge is the first case of isolated retropancreatic tuberculous lymphadenitis in Saudi Arabia.
