  • Abstract
    Abdominal tuberculosis is a common cause of morbidity in the developing countries but its incidence is also increasing in the developed countries because of HIV infections. Mesenteric lymphadenopathy is a common presentation in abdominal tuberculosis followed by peripancreatic and periportal adenopathy. It is very rare to get isolated periportal tuberculosis lymphadenopathy. This is a case of a young lady, who presented with painless obstructive jaundice due to periportal lymphadenopathy. After investigations she turned out to be a case of tuberculosis adenitis.
