ABSTRACT
The incidence of tuberculosis (TB) in patients on regular hemodialysis and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients is higher than that of general population. But, tuberculous liver abscess is rare even in endemic area and is found in 0.34% of hepatic tuberculosis. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis shows atypical presentation, and prompt diagnosis and treatment is important for prognosis of the patient. We report a case of CAPD patient with primary tuberculous liver abscess. The patient was treated successfully with antituberculous therapy after the diagnosis was established by histopathologic examination from the specimen obtained by ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsy of the liver.
