The authors report a case of a 30 years old immunocompetent woman with liver tuberculosis with an unusual pseudotumoral presentation and secondary occurrence of abcedation with cutaneous fistulization. The diagnosis was based on the bacteriological positivity for acido-alcoolo resistant bacillus in pus of the abscess obtained by ponction guided by ultrasonographic examination. The authors emphasize in the differential diagnosis with the other causes of liver abscess (amibiasis and pyogenic microorganisms) and liver carcinoma. They also note the importance of the function guided by ultrasonographic examination permitting histologic and bacte+ériologic study in the diagnosis of this unusual presentation of liver tuberculosis. The patient was treated by antibacillary antibiotics and evacuation function. The prognostic was good with 6 months of follow-up.
