Liver infection as a result of tuberculosis is well known; there are several histological lesions, the most important being epithelioid cell granuloma. There are 3 anatomo-clinic variants: military or micronodular type, macronodular or pseudotumoral and pericanalicular of cholestatic. A case of a 66 year old male with a diagnosis of hepatic pseudotumoral tuberculosis, confirmed by means of a laparoscopy, is presented. The rareness of this particular presentation is discussed, as well as the difficult diagnosis due to confusion with primary or metastatic tumors of the liver.
