title: Tubercular hepatic abscess--a rare presentation.
abstract: Hepatic tuberculosis is one of the rare forms of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. The focal or nodular form presenting as tuberculoma or abscess is uncommon. Hepatic tuberculosis without involvement of lungs or other organs is even rarer. We report a rare case of primary tubercular liver abscess without involvement of any other organ of body.
