Abstract:
The case of rare localization of extrapulmonary tuberculosis--isolated tuberculoma of the liver--was described. The tumor was found accidentally, during abdominal ultrasound for benign prostatic enlargement. Computed enhanced tomography didn't explain the character of the tumor, so percutaneous thin-needle biopsy was performed. Preliminary histological report suggested primary liver cancer. Patient was operated on, tumor was removed with the margin of the healthy liver tissue. Histological examination of the specimen revealed the nature of the tumor. Diagnosed liver tuberculoma is usually treated without surgery.

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
