Abstract
We report an isolated giant solid macronodular tuberculoma in an
8-year-old boy. A large-space-occupying lesion in the right lobe with
nodular surface and hard consistency mimicked liver malignancy. This
case is unusual as the ultrasonography, computed tomography scan, and
aspiration cytology were all suggestive of a malignant tumor.
Laparotomy confirmed a 15 x 10 cm nodular tumor present in the right
lobe of liver. The segments 5, 6, 7, and 8 were excised. The
histopathology revealed tuberculosis
