Speaking on Tuesday, Tusk said a special analytical team would assess whether Polish children may have been among the victims of Epstein and his sex-trafficking network.
He added that a formal criminal investigation could follow if the findings warranted it.
Government spokesman Adam Szłapka told reporters that the team would include prosecutors, police officers and members of the security services.
He added that it would operate under Justice Minister Waldemar Żurek and that the names of those on the team would not be made public.
The announcement comes after US authorities last week released around 3 million pages of documents related to Epstein.
The files include correspondence and references to contacts with prominent figures from around the world.
Epstein, who died in custody in 2019, was accused of running a long-term sex trafficking operation involving underage girls.
'A group of Polish women or girls'
Tusk said preliminary information from the released documents pointed to individuals based in the southern Polish city of Kraków who allegedly informed Epstein that they had access to "a group of Polish women or girls."
He added that several such leads had been identified and would now be examined in detail.
The prime minister said he had instructed prosecutors and Poland’s security services to conduct an urgent review of all publicly available materials, analysing each file.
He added that Poland may request access to further documents from US authorities if those remaining under seal were found to be relevant.
If Polish children were exploited by the paedophile network, the government will do everything necessary to ensure that those responsible are held to account, Tusk said.
Claims of possible Russian involvement
The Polish prime minister also referred to growing media speculation that the Epstein case may have involved a Russian intelligence "honey trap" operation targeting Western elites.
Tusk pointed to reporting by the British newspaper The Telegraph, which said the released files include 1,056 documents mentioning Vladimir Putin and more than 9,000 references to Russia.
Against this backdrop, Poland is also considering whether to encourage an international investigation into the case, citing potential national security implications.
