Abstract
Although tuberculosis (TB) remains a worldwide epidemic, isolated hepatic TB is an extremely rare entity and poorly described in the literature. Isolated hepatic TB may pose a diagnostic dilemma due to the non-specific clinical symptoms and imaging features. We present a case of a 54-year-old female with an isolated caseating granulomatous lesion at the caudate lobe of liver involving the pancreatic head.

[PMID: 20431773 PMCID: PMC2852721 DOI: 10.5009/gnl.2009.3.4.338] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2009] [Accepted: 06/23/2009] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Abdominal tuberculosis is not a rare disease, but obstructive jaundice caused by tuberculosis (tuberculous lymphadenitis, tuberculous enlargement of the head of pancreas, and/or tuberculous stricture of the biliary tree) is rare. We recently experienced a case of obstructive jaundice as a result of paradoxical reaction of periportal tuberculous lymphadenopathy that was treated successfully with corticosteroid and biliary drainage. No similar cases have been reported previously.
