ABSTRACT
Although pulmonary tuberculosis is known to be the most common type in tuberculosis, it actually can affect any organ system. However, abdominal type is very rare among the extra-pulmonary types, and obstructive jaundice caused by lymphadenopathies due to tuberculosis is especially uncommon manifestation even in endemic areas. Tuberculous lymphadenopathies can mimic lymphadenopathies by other metastatic tumors or lymphoma, thus early correct diagnosis is very important for avoiding unnecessary surgical interventions. Here, we reported two cases of obstructive jaundice caused by tuberculous lymphadenopathies. Both were treated with anti-tuberculosis medications and endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage without surgery.
