Isolated hepatobiliary tuberculosis (TB) has been uncommonly described with or without biliary involvement and accounts for less than 1% of all tubercular infections. Isolated hepatic TB is even rare and poses a great diagnostic challenge. We report a case of isolated tubercular liver abscess with extension into the chest wall in an immune-competent adult, which was diagnosed and managed successfully with antitubercular treatment.
孤立性肝胆结核在有或无胆道受累的情况下均鲜有报道，占所有结核感染的比例不到1%。孤立性肝结核更为罕见，诊断极具挑战性。我们报告一例免疫功能正常的成年人发生孤立性结核性肝脓肿并蔓延至胸壁的病例，该病例经抗结核治疗后成功诊断并得到妥善处理。
