title: Hepatobiliary Tuberculosis: Imaging Findings.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Tuberculosis (TB) may present with highly variable imaging findings. The findings may vary from nonspecific hepatomegaly to abscesses or solid focal lesions, mimicking liver tumors. Biliary tract involvement may also be detected, which may manifest with ductal dilatations from underlying strictures.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  All cross-sectional imaging modalities, including sonography, CT, and MRI, may be used in the evaluation of patients with TB. Imaging findings may be perplexing to radiologists, particularly ones who practice in areas where TB is not endemic; thus, histopathologic diagnosis may be required.
