  • Title: Sonography and computed tomography of macroscopic tuberculosis of the liver.
    Author: Brauner M, Buffard MD, Jeantils V, Legrand I, Gotheil C.
    Journal: J Clin Ultrasound; 1989 Oct; 17(8):563-8. PubMed ID: 2507580.
    Abstract:
    Four patients with macronodular tuberculosis of the liver were examined with ultrasonography. The findings included 1 case with multiple hypoechoic areas and 3 cases with a solitary lesion, one hypoechoic mass without calcifications, and two partially calcified masses. Some ultrasound features are suggestive: a mass with irregular calcifications, ascites, spleen enlargement with defects, enlarged nodes, and complete resolution of the lesions in a few months with effective antituberculous therapy. The first case was also examinated with computed tomography.
