  • Title: [Compression of retropancreatic common bile duct by tuberculous lymph nodes causing obstructive icterus].
    Author: Martinon F, Aurousseau R.
    Journal: J Chir (Paris); 1976 Sep; 112(5):145-52. PubMed ID: 977671.
    Abstract:
    Tuberculosis of the hepatic lymph nodes is among the rare causes of obstructive jaundice and portal hypertension. The authors report a case of compression of the bile duct by retroduodeno-pancreatic tuberculous lymphadenopathy, and recall the difficulty of diagnosis before operation. They emphasize the necessity of simple surgical measures. Removal of the lymph nodes is dangerous and should not be attempted. A biliary by-pass operation should be carried out and its type depends on the precise site of the compression. Antituberculous drugs are then given for 18 months after operation and lead to cure.
