title: [Hepatic tuberculosis: anatomical and clinical findings. A review of forty-six cases (author's transl)].
abstract: Over eight years the authors recorded 46 cases of hepatic tuberculosis. Most cases occurred in patients from black Africa. Forty-five patients had at least one extrahepatic tuberculous localization. Moderate cholestasis, without jaundice, found in 75% of patients, was the main biologic disorder. Upon histologic examination, five different types of granulomas were found. Each one has a specific predictive value concerning the outcome of the tuberculous infection.
