title: [Isolated tuberculosis of the liver--case report].
abstract: Tuberculosis of the liver is rare even in areas where tuberculosis is widespread. Isolated tuberculosis of the liver is extremely rare. It usually presents as a nodular - pseudo-tumorous form. Tuberculosis of the bile ducts is even less frequent. A 37 year old woman with nodular - pseudotumorous form of tuberculosis of the liver is presented. The diagnosis was established after surgical biopsy and histology. It may be caused by the bovine type of the bacillus. The patient had an excellent response to tuberculostatic drugs. Tuberculosis of the liver must be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of the liver masses.
