This case report details liver tuberculosis that mimicked a tumor on CT scans. An open liver biopsy proved crucial for diagnosis, highlighting its importance in similar challenging cases.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) can manifest in the liver, presenting diagnostic challenges.
  • Isolated liver TB is rare and often misdiagnosed.
  • Computed tomography (CT) is a key imaging modality in liver lesion evaluation.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with liver lesions resembling hemangioendothelioma on CT scans.
  • Clinical presentation mimicked a malignant liver tumor.
  • Standard diagnostic workup did not immediately identify tuberculosis.

Findings:

  • The liver lesions were confirmed to be tuberculosis upon histopathological examination.
  • The case highlights the potential for liver TB to masquerade as other hepatic pathologies.

  • Open liver biopsy was essential for definitive diagnosis.

    • Implications:

    • Emphasizes the need to consider liver tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of hepatic tumors.
    • Underscores the diagnostic value of open liver biopsy when imaging and less invasive methods are inconclusive.
    • Contributes to the understanding of rare presentations of extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
