Macronodular tuberculoma of the liver : CT and MR findings

Tuberculous involvement of the liver is usually a diffuse process, associated with miliary tuberculosis. However, localized tuberculosis of the liver producing a macronodular tuberculoma or an abscess is rare [1 , 2]. Several reports have described the CT findings in such localized hepatic tuberculosis [3, 4]; however, the findings of MR imaging have not been widely published. We describe the CT and MR findings in a case of macronodular tuberculoma of the liver.
