Popis: Isolated liver tuberculosis is still considered a rare condition and its atypical clinical presentation challenges the clinical acumen of the treating physician.

It is usually unsuspected and confused with primary or metastatic carcinoma of the liver. In this report, we describe a rare case of isolated liver tuberculosis.
