[Diagnosis and treatment of hepatic tuberculoma]
Objective:
To explore the appropriate diagnosis and treatment for hepatic tuberculoma.
Method:
Eight cases with hepatic tuberculoma confirmed pathologically were reported and analyzed.
Results:
Five of the eight cases were misdiagnosed as other types of hepatic tumor, and only 3 cases correctly diagnosed preoperatively. All cases underwent segmentectomy or local resection, and no relapse was found after four-year follow-up in seven cases.
Conclusions:
The cases with hepatic occupying-space lesions who had tuberculosis history should be suspected of being hepatic tuberculoma; The aspiration liver biopsy guided by B-mode ultrasound and CT scan can provide correct diagnosis; The segmentectomy and local resection are effective and practicable for treatment of hepatic tuberculoma, and the antituberculosis drugs should be administrated postoperatively so as to strengthen the therapeutic effect.
