    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Brucellosis is a rare infection in France and its wide spectrum of clinical presentation can be a diagnostic challenge. CASE REPORT: We report here the case of a 76-year-old Tunisian-born woman referred for fatigue, weight loss, intermittent fever, and pain in the right upper quadrant, along with hepatic lesions on CT-scan, MRI and PET-FDG suggesting malignant lesions. However blood cultures were positive to Brucella melitensis leading to a diagnosis of hepatic brucelloma. CONCLUSION: Hepatic abscesses are rare in brucellosis. This infection has to be evoked in patients coming from endemic areas even with atypical manifestations.
