Abstract
A liver abscess is an uncommon extra-pulmonary manifestation of a common disease that is tuberculosis. It usually follows primary infection in the lung or the gut. Tuberculous liver abscess in a non-immunocompromised patient in the absence of primary disease elsewhere is an extremely rare occurrence. We report here a case of a tuberculous liver abscess in a 30 years old female who presented a considerable diagnostic challenge.Entities:
