    Author: Murata Y, Yamada I, Sumiya Y, Shichijo Y, Suzuki Y.
    Journal: J Comput Assist Tomogr; 1996; 20(4):643-6. PubMed ID: 8708072.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: Our goal was to determine the appearance of abdominal macronodular tuberculomas on MRI. METHOD: MR findings of two patients with abdominal macronodular tuberculoma, one of the liver and the other in the kidney, were reviewed. RESULTS: The two tuberculomas, histologically confirmed to have no calcification, hemorrhaging, or fibrosis, commonly showed low signal intensity on both T1- and T2-weighted images. CONCLUSION: We report two cases of a macronodular tuberculoma in the liver and kidney, which is visualized as a region of hypointensity on T2-weighted MR images. This finding appears to be important in reaching a definitive diagnosis of an abdominal tuberculoma.
