ABSTRACT

This case report presents an incidental finding of primary tuberculosis in the liver of a 54-year-old female patient who had a history of multiple hospital admissions due to abdominal pain, jaundice, persistent fever, nausea with vomiting, weight loss, and asthenia. The evaluation involved considering differential diagnoses of cholangiocarcinoma, Caroli's disease, hepatocellular carcinoma, and hepatic tuberculosis based on the patient's history, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. The aim of this report is to provide healthcare professionals with a new diagnostic perspective when encountering patients with this ambiguous presentation, even in regions with low epidemiological incidence. Hepatic tuberculosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients with focal intrahepatic lesions or liver abscesses who have a history of recurrent hospitalizations and evidence on imaging studies.


Se trata de un hallazgo incidental de tuberculosis primaria en el hígado en una paciente femenina de 54 años con historia de múltiples ingresos por síntomas de dolor abdominal, ictericia, fiebre persistente, náuseas acompañadas de vómitos de contenido gástrico, pérdida de peso y astenia. A la evaluación se consideraron los diagnósticos diferenciales de colangiocarcinoma, enfermedad de Caroli, carcinoma hepatocelular y tuberculosis hepática, basados en anamnesis, estudios de imágenes y pruebas de gabinete. Este reporte de caso brinda una nueva perspectiva diagnóstica para el personal de salud que reciba pacientes con esta presentación ambigua, aun en el contexto de baja incidencia epidemiológica. La tuberculosis hepática debe ser considerada en el diagnóstico diferencial de pacientes con lesiones focales a nivel intrahepático o abscesos hepáticos con hospitalizaciones recurrentes y evidencia de imágenes.
