ABSTRACT
Hepatic tuberculosis (TB) is an uncommon extrapulmonary manifestation of tuberculosis. Hepatic TB is more common in immunocompromised patients, such as those on immunosuppressive medications or those with a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Primary hepatic TB is rare, and liver involvement is often secondary to spreading from the lymphatics, portal vein, or hepatic artery. We report a case of hepatic TB in a patient on adalimumab for ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
