Primary nodular hepatic tuberculosis mimicking hepatic neoplasia in an immunocompetent host.
We present and describe a case of nodular primary hepatic tuberculosis mimicking hepatic neoplasia in an immunocompetent host. This particularly rare presentation, associated with unspecific imaging, laboratory and clinical findings and relatively unspecific microbiological results make diagnosis extremely difficult, usually requiring surgical intervention.
متن کاملPrimary hepatic tuberculosis in immunocompetent adults: a UK case series
Primary hepatic tuberculosis (TB) is very rare in the UK, but the incidence may be rising. Three cases of primary hepatic TB in immunocompetent patients without evidence of pulmonary involvement are reported. The diagnosis was challenging as two patients had liver space-occupying lesions, and the third patient presented with liver abscess. All of them responded well to standard anti-tubercular ...

متن کاملIsolated Pancreatic Tuberculosis Mimicking Malignancy in an Immunocompetent Host
Despite the high prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) worldwide, pancreatic TB is rare. When present, pancreatic TB is frequently associated with miliary TB, often in immunocompromised hosts. Pancreatic TB may present as a pancreatic abscess, acute or chronic pancreatitis, and cystic or solid pancreatic masses. We present a case of an immunocompetent patient who presented with two discrete pancreati...
متن کاملPrimary hepatic tuberculosis mimicking intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: report of two cases
Hepatic tuberculosis (TB) is usually associated with pulmonary or miliary TB, but primary hepatic TB is very uncommon even in countries with high prevalence of TB. The clinical manifestation of primary hepatic TB is atypical and imaging modalities are unhelpful for differential diagnosis of the liver mass. Image-guided needle biopsy is the best diagnostic method for primary hepatic TB. In the c...
