Pediatric pseudotumoral hepatic tuberculosis. A great mimicker!!

Abstract

Pediatric liver masses are rare and difficult to treat. Common liver masses in children include hepatoblastoma, hemangiomas, liver abscesses, and hydatid disease. Isolated liver tuberculosis (TB) is rare in children and can have variable clinical presentations. We report a child with isolated liver TB masquerading as a liver tumor.
