A rare case of liver tuberculoma, a form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, was accidentally discovered during an ultrasound. Surgical removal and subsequent histological examination confirmed the diagnosis, highlighting a unique presentation of liver disease.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) can present with rare localizations.
  • Isolated tuberculoma of the liver is an uncommon manifestation of TB.

Observation:

  • A liver tumor was incidentally found during an abdominal ultrasound for benign prostatic enlargement.
  • Computed enhanced tomography (CT) was inconclusive in characterizing the liver lesion.
  • A percutaneous thin-needle biopsy was performed for further evaluation.

Findings:

  • Initial histological reports suggested primary liver cancer.
  • Surgical resection of the liver tumor was performed.
  • Final histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of liver tuberculoma.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of liver masses, even in the absence of typical pulmonary symptoms.
  • While liver tuberculoma is typically managed non-surgically, this instance required intervention due to diagnostic uncertainty.
  • Accurate diagnosis through biopsy and histology is crucial for appropriate management of rare hepatic lesions.
