چکیده

diseases, which has a worldwide occurrence and is associated with various clinical manifestations (1). Hepatic tuberculosis is one of the uncommon forms of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (1-4). In tuberculosis, involvement of liver is usually seen in association with pulmonary or miliary tuberculosis (1, 2, 5). Occurrence of isolated hepatic tuberculosis without extrahepatic manifestations is very rare (1-5). In both, isolated hepatic and systemic tuberculosis, hepatic involvement tends to be multiple microor macronodular, whereas the single nodule or mass form is rare (1-3, 6).
