[Tuberculous abscess of the liver. Apropos of 2 cases].
The authors report two cases of tuberculous liver abscess. They stress the rarity of this site, and differential diagnostic difficulties with other types of infection and liver tumors, notably amebiasis, hydatid cyst and carcinoma. Echo- or Scan-guided needle biopsy is useful for diagnosis and, in some cases, treatment by drainage of the purulent cavity.
