Resumo

We present and describe a case of nodular primary hepatic tuberculosis mimicking hepatic neoplasia in an immunocompetent host. This particularly rare presentation, associated with unspecific imaging, laboratory and clinical findings and relatively unspecific microbiological results make diagnosis extremely difficult, usually requiring surgical intervention.
