Isolated Hepatic Tuberculosis - Serohepatic Type
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 4
Abstract
Though tuberculous infection constitutes one of the more common causes of death and morbidity in the developing world, hepatic tuberculosis is a rare presentation. Hepatic involvement, usually in the form of multiple small-sized miliary nodules, is seen along with other organ involvement. In contrast, isolated hepatic tuberculosis is seldom encountered in clinical practice. In this article we highlight about the serohepatic tuberculosis which is a rare presentation among other hepatic tuberculosis types. Uniquely, the patient had sub capsular as well as extra-capsular involvement. Diagnosis involved imaging and histopathological examination.
