Abstract

Clinical case presentation : We present the case of a 32-year-old Tunisian woman living in Belgium with a 5-year history of liver lesions. Her medical history is marked by two pregnancies, and pleural tuberculosis at the age of 23, treated by antitubercular agents. The lesions were incidentally discovered in 2013 on a CT scan during a workout because of postpartum fever. They measured 8, 28, and 11 mm, respectively, at segments 7, 5, and 6; based on both MRI and ultrasound, they were considered atypical. She was asymptomatic and put under surveillance with no precise diagnosis.
