Abstract

Liver tuberculosis is very rare; it is generally seen as a part of military or abdominal tuberculosis. Isolated liver tuberculosis is even rarer and it does not have any specific signs of symptoms, it may pose difficulty and delay in diagnosis. Commonest differential diagnosis would be primary or secondary liver lesions. Diagnosing isolated liver tuberculosis in a patient without any history of previous tuberculosis requires high index of suspicion. Good quality liver protocol cross sectional imaging helps in suspecting the diagnosis and definitive diagnosis needs histopathological examination. We are presenting a case of isolated liver tuberculosis without any prior history of tuberculosis.
