[CT in diagnosis of tuberculosis of liver and spleen].
OBJECTIVE: To analyze CT findings of hepatospleeno-tuberculosis and to explore the characteristics for diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the disease.
METHODS: CT scans were performed in fifteen patients. There were nine men and six women, the age ranging from 18 to 60 years old. All patients were diagnosed clinically, one of which was confirmed by pathology after surgery, two of which were confirmed by pathology through CT-guided biopsy.
RESULTS: All cases were concurrent with two or more other tuberculosis. Disseminated milliary, small nodules and small saccular foci were present in livers of 8 cases and spleens of 5, and isolated low dense lesion in liver of 1 case, diffuse calcifications in liver and spleen of another 1.
CONCLUSIONS: When disseminated milliary, small nodules and small saccular foci are found by CT in liver or spleen and tuberculous lesions are present in other tissues, diagnosis of liver and/or spleen tuberculosis should be considered.
