PRIMARY MACRONODULAR HEPATOSPLENIC TUBERCULOSIS - 2 CASES WITH US, CT, AND MR FINDINGS

We describe two cases of primary macronodular hepatosplenic tuberculos is (TB) with US, CT, and MR findings. The clinical presentation. of th e two patients were not alike. Whereas the first presented with a long indolent course, the second presented with an acute picture. For the first patient TB was not suspected until laparatomy; for the second th e diagnosis was made by clinical evaluation with the aid of US and CT, and confirmed by biopsy. Use of MR did not add to the diagnosis.
