Summary

Isolated hepatic tuberculoma, a form of liver tuberculosis (TB), presents as a liver mass mimicking cancer. Diagnosis requires biopsy, and treatment with anti-tubercular drugs offers a good prognosis.

Area of Science:

Hepatology
Infectious Diseases
Radiology

Background:

Isolated hepatic tuberculoma is a rare form of localized hepatic tuberculosis (TB) often misdiagnosed as a neoplastic lesion.
Radiological evaluations and non-specific liver function tests are insufficient for accurate diagnosis.

Observation:

A case of isolated hepatic tuberculoma in a 38-year-old female from a tribal area presented with fever, abdominal pain, and a solitary liver nodule.
Advanced imaging modalities failed to provide a definitive diagnosis.

Findings:

Histopathological examination of a biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of isolated hepatic tuberculoma.
The patient was successfully treated with anti-tubercular drugs.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of considering hepatic TB in the differential diagnosis of liver masses, especially in endemic areas.
Early diagnosis through biopsy and prompt treatment with anti-tubercular therapy leads to excellent patient outcomes.
