title: Focal liver tuberculosis: a case report.
abstract: Abdominal tuberculosis is protean in its manifestations. Studies have shown that miliary tuberculosis of the liver is quite common but isolated or focal liver tuberculosis is still a rare condition. Though hepatic tuberculomas are a known entity in endemic regions of Southeast Asia, it is less likely seen in immunocompetent hosts. We present a case of focal liver tuberculosis, the difficulty in preoperative diagnosis, and its subsequent management.
