Tuberculous lesions in the liver are a common finding at autopsy in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. However upto 1956, only 33 cases of tuberculosis the liver have been reported by exploratory lapartory or autopsy in all the world, but recently diagnosis is more easy with development of liver yet. Recently we had the opportunity to observe 31-year-old male patient who had pulmonary tuberculosis and developed clinical course of F.U.O.
