Abstract:
Liver involvement due to brucellosis can occur during the acute or the chronic phase of the disease. The marked tendency toward circumscription can give rise to hepatic pseudotumoral lesions with a calcified granulomatous appearance, called brucellomas. Surgery is the only correct treatment, including Brucella PCR in the central calcified lesion, because serological studies are often inconclusive.
