“…Various authors have reported abnormalities in chest x-ray of patients with tubercular liver abscess ranging from 65% to 78%. [8,9,10] Moreover presence of immunosuppression as a result of concomitant diabetes mellitus, AIDS, steroid therapy or chronic renal failure may further mask presenting features and delay diagnosi s.…”

“…Involvement of the liver by tuberculosis is usually seen when there is tuberculous infection elsewhere in the body, particularly in association with pulmonary or miliary disease . Isolated hepatic tuberculosis, with no clinical extrahepatic manifestations of tuberculosis, is uncommon . In hepatic tuberculosis, the basic lesion in the liver is the granuloma.…”

Tuberculosis is one of the most common and well-described infectious diseases, with a worldwide distribution and a vast spectrum of clinical manifestations. Involvement of the liver alone by tuberculosis is, however, uncommon. It usually presents as a protracted illness frequently associated with jaundice and hepatomegaly. It can, therefore, mimic primary or metastatic liver malignancies. We report five cases of isolated hepatic tuberculosis, emphasizing the importance of obtaining a tissue diagnosis in all subjects with suspicious liver lesions to avoid missing the uncommon but curable hepatic tuberculosis.

“…2 Isolated tubercular liver abscess in an immune-competent adult is extremely rare with prevalence of just 0.34% in overall patients with hepatic involvement, 3 and literature being limited only to case reports. The diagnosis is based on strong suspicion with either demonstration of acid-fast bacilli in aspiration fluid and biopsy samples or typical histopathological findings such as caseating necrotizing granulomas with epitheloid cells, Langhan's giant cells, and rim of lymphocytes.…”

Isolated hepatobiliary tuberculosis (TB) has been uncommonly described with or without biliary involvement and accounts for less than 1% of all tubercular infections. Isolated hepatic TB is even rare and poses a great diagnostic challenge. We report a case of isolated tubercular liver abscess with extension into the chest wall in an immune-competent adult, which was diagnosed and managed successfully with antitubercular treatment.
