Abstract

We describe a case of localized macronodular tuberculosis of the liver, the so-called hepatic tuberculoma. Liver US scan demonstrated an hypoechoic well-delineated lesion of the left liver lobe. Liver CT scan demonstrated a hypodense lesion before and after contrast enhancement. Liver MR scan demonstrated a lesion hypointense to liver on T1-weighted images and isointense to liver on T2-weighted images.
