Abstract

Tuberculosis is a major re-emerging global health concern. The disease may involve any body system and is a great mimicker of various pathologies owing to its non-specific imaging findings. Herein we report an extremely rare case of atypical tuberculosis of the liver in a young female with complaints of abdominal pain and haematemesis for 10 weeks. Isolated hepatic tuberculosis is a rare entity with < 100 cases reported in the literature. It is therefore important to have a high index of suspicion and be familiar with the atypical imaging findings of abdominal tuberculosis. This discussion highlights the clinical presentation, imaging findings and types of hepatic involvement in tuberculosis.
