“…Histopathologic evidence of caseous granuloma and/or demonstration of TB bacilli is the only method that provides a definite diagnosis. A specimen can be obtained by laparoscopic biopsy, ultrasound-guided needle aspiration, or even by bile aspiration or brush cytology during Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography [8] , [9] .…”

Biliary involvement during abdominal tuberculosis is extremely uncommon and represents a challenging diagnosis that can easily be mistaken for a malignant etiology. We report the case of a 40 years old male who presented with anorexia, chronic abdominal pain, and progressive obstructive jaundice. Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated distal narrowing with wall thickening of the main biliary duct, along with enlarged lymph nodes and signs of portal hypertension. Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging showed a long distal biliary stricture, suggestive of malignancy, with dilated intrahepatic radicles. The diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma was initially suggested. However, given his young age and other imaging findings, the patient underwent laparoscopic biopsy which revealed epithelioid cell granuloma with caseating necrosis consistent with tuberculous origin.

“…While ERCP has the advantage over other imaging modalities by allowing the placement of biliary stents to decompress the biliary systems, EUS is considered an important diagnostic tool. The definitive diagnosis of a primary hepatobiliary TB is made by acid-fast bacilli smear, culture of a specimen and histopathological evi-dence of caseating granuloma, which can be obtained by fine needle aspiration/biopsy guided by EUS [5][6][7][8] .…”

Tuberculosis (TB) is primarily a respiratory infection with huge mortality and morbidity worldwide. Extrapulmonary TB infection is common, affecting lymph nodes, pleura, and abdomen, but the primary biliary presentation without lung involvement is exceedingly rare. We report on a 38-year-old male patient who presented with isolated obstructive jaundice secondary to TB infection. This case highlights the importance of considering TB infection in the differential diagnosis of obstructive jaundice, especially in the endemic area. We also provide a literature review on TB infection, mainly in the biliary tract.
