  • Title: Isolated giant tuberculomata of the liver detected by computed tomography.
    Author: Chan HS, Pang J.
    Journal: Gastrointest Radiol; 1989; 14(4):305-7. PubMed ID: 2806817.
    Abstract:
    Isolated giant tuberculomata of the liver are rare, and they are frequently misdiagnosed as primary or secondary tumors of the liver. We describe the computed tomography findings in 2 patients with giant tuberculomata of the liver. One patient had a large low-attenuation lesion with rim enhancement after contrast. The other patient had multiple calcific lesions that did not enhance but showed a rim of hypoattenuation after contrast. Biopsy established the diagnosis and both patients recovered with antituberculous chemotherapy.
