Brucellosis is a common, worldwide zoonosis. Clinical presentation is protean and often goes unrecognized. Hepatic brucelloma is a rare local complication of chronic brucellosis. We report a case in which magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography imaging prompted suspicion of a hepatic malignancy. Diagnosis was ultimately made by serology and polymerase chain reaction of resected liver tissue.
布鲁氏菌病是一种常见的全球性人畜共患病。其临床表现多样,常常未被识别。肝布鲁氏细胞瘤是慢性布鲁氏菌病罕见的局部并发症。我们报告一例,磁共振成像和正电子发射断层扫描成像提示怀疑为肝脏恶性肿瘤。最终通过切除肝脏组织的血清学检查和聚合酶链反应做出诊断。
