abstract: Tuberculous hepatic abscess occurs rarely, most of these being associated with tuberculosis at other sites. Only 11 reports of isolated tuberculous hepatic abscess have been made in the English literature. A further case of isolated tuberculous hepatic abscess is reported with particular emphasis on the difficulty that may be encountered in reaching the correct diagnosis.
