Abstract
Biliary tuberculosis is a very rare disease especially in its isolated form that can present with an obstructive jaundice mimicking other non-infectious causes such as cholangiocarcinoma. It poses difficulty in diagnosis and often requiressurgical intervention to exclude underlying malignancy. Here we report a case of obstructive jaundice which was initially thought to be due to a cholangiocarcinoma but postoperatively it was found to be tuberculosis.
