NODULAR HEPATIC TUBERCULOSIS MASQUERADING AS A SEMINOMA LIVER METASTASIS

Abstract

Isolated macro-nodular LIVER TUBERCULOSIS is a very rare condition. It may mimic primitive or secondary tumors of the LIVER. This could delay or mislead the therapeutic management. An immunocompetent 48-year-old man with a history of non-metastatic seminoma was treated with right orchidectomy followed by 20 Gy radiotherapy. The discovery, 8 months later, of a 2 cm nodule of the hepatic dome evoked a LIVER metastasis. Percutaneous biopsy was not feasible. Wedge resection was performed whereas medical treatment would have sufficed, as pathologic examination of the resected specimen showed a macro-nodular hepatic TUBERCULOSIS. The patient received anti-tuberculosis drugs for 9 months. The diagnosis of isolated macro-nodular LIVER TUBERCULOSIS is frequently misleading, particularly in immunocompetent and paucisymptomatic patients. Thus percutaneous biopsy is mandatory for diagnosis and also prior to any major surgeries.
