  • isolated liver Tuberculosis abscess in a patient without immunodeficiency a case report
    World Journal of Hepatology, 2010
    Co-Authors: Karim Ibn Majdoub Hassani, Abdelmalek Ousadden, Amal Ankouz, Khalid Mazaz, Khalid Ait Taleb
    Abstract:

    Although Hepatic Tuberculosis is not a rare disease entity, tubercular liver abscess (TLA) is extremely rare. It is usually associated with foci of infection either in the lung and/or gastrointestinal tract or with an immunocompromised state. An isolated or primary TLA with no evidence of Tuberculosis elsewhere is even rarer. We report on a 28 year old man who developed an isolated tuberculous liver abscess not associated with lung involvement. Ultrasonography and computed tomography of the abdomen showed the abscess lesions in the liver but the diagnosis of Tuberculosis was confirmed by histological examination of the wall of the abscess after surgical drainage. Although tuberculous liver abscess is very rare, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of abscess and unknown Hepatic mass lesions.

  • computed tomography and angiography in Hepatic Tuberculosis mimicking liver tumor
    International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, 2001
    Co-Authors: Shyrming Sheenchen, Maochan Chen, Hockliew Eng, Weijen Chen, Yufan Cheng, Tzeyu Lee
    Abstract:

    La tuberculose est une des maladies infectieuses les plus courantes et les mieux documentees, dont les manifestations cliniques sont tres variees. Nous presentons un cas de tuberculose hepatique isolee ressemblant a une tumeur du foie. Le patient etait un homme de 44 ans qui avait souffert d'epigastralgies intermittentes depuis environ deux ans. La tomographie computee de l'abdomen a montre une masse de faible densite avec calcifications internes dans le lobe gauche du foie. A l'angiographie coeliaque, on note un encerclement de la propria hepatique et l'occlusion de l'artere hepatique gauche. Des structures vasculaires anormales et tortueuses ont ete decelees dans la region hilaire du foie. Le patient a subi une intervention chirurgicale vu la suspicion d'une tumeur hepatique gauche. A l'examen microscopique, c'est la tuberculose qu'on a decelee dans le fragment de tissu hepatique reseque.

  • macronodular tuberculoma of the liver ct and mr findings
    American Journal of Roentgenology, 1992
    Co-Authors: Y Kawamori, Osamu Matsui, Kiyohide Kitagawa, M Kadoya, Tsutomu Takashima, T Yamahana
    Abstract:

    Tuberculous involvement of the liver is usually a diffuse process, associated with miliary Tuberculosis. However, localized Tuberculosis of the liver producing a macronodular tuberculoma or an abscess is rare [1 , 2]. Several reports have described the CT findings in such localized Hepatic Tuberculosis [3, 4]; however, the findings of MR imaging have not been widely published. We describe the CT and MR findings in a case of macronodular tuberculoma of the liver.

  • Hepatic Tuberculosis in absence of disseminated abdominal Tuberculosis
    Annals of Hepatology, 2006
    Co-Authors: Chirag S Desai, Anand Joshi, Philip Abraham, Devendra Desai, Ramesh Deshpande, Anita Bhaduri, Sudeep R Shah
    Abstract:

    Liver involvement in Tuberculosis in absence of miliary Tuberculosis is rare. This study was performed to analyse the spectrum and response to treatment of Hepatic Tuberculosis in the absence of miliary abdominal Tuberculosis. Retrospective analysis of seven cases of Hepatic Tuberculosis without miliary abdominal Tuberculosis who presented at the single tertiary referral center were analyzed. All patients presented with fever and hepatomegaly. Five of them had pain in upper abdomen and vomiting. HIV serology was positive in one patient. All patients had normocytic normochromic anaemia, raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate (Mean 65). Mild elevation of liver enzymes and low albumin (Mean 2.4 gm%) with reversal of albumin globulin ratio (Mean 0.6) were seen in all. Two had jaundice. Prothrombin time was normal in all and lactate dehydrogenase values were elevated in all (Mean 794 IU/L). On ultrasonography, 2 had multiple hypodense lesion, 1 had coarse echotexture of liver, 1had hyperechoic pattern and 3 had just hepatomegaly. Complete resolution of liver lesions on treatment with 4-drug anti-Tuberculosis drug chemotherapy was seen. In conclusion, liver Tuberculosis has protean manifestations with nonspecific alteration of liver function tests and is best diagnosed on liver biopsy. Overall response to therapy is satisfactory.
