Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pediatric Radiology

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) commonly affects the lungs but can involve any organ, including the liver.
  • Hepatic tuberculosis is often diffuse, associated with miliary dissemination.
  • Rare forms include macronodular or pseudotumor presentations, with limited imaging data.

Observation:

  • A 5-year-old boy presented with a febrile illness.
  • Abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed findings suggestive of macronodular hepatic tuberculosis.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed through liver biopsy.

Findings:

  • The case demonstrates a rare macronodular form of hepatic tuberculosis.
  • Computed tomography (CT) successfully visualized the unusual liver involvement.
  • Liver biopsy provided definitive diagnosis.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of imaging presentations for hepatic tuberculosis.
  • Highlights the importance of considering rare forms of tuberculosis in pediatric febrile illnesses.
  • Emphasizes the role of advanced imaging and biopsy in diagnosing uncommon hepatic pathologies.
