An exquisite art program that focuses on clarity of presentation with an emphasis on anatomy, pathology, patient presentation, and clinical context. [books.google.com]

The variable clinical presentations with no consistent clinical and biochemical features makes diagnosis of hepatic tuberculosis very difficult. Usually the presentation is non specific and constitutional in nature. [pubs.sciepub.com]

Similarly, isolated hepatic tuberculosis presenting as jaundice and abdominal distension has been reported in literature by Shastri et al. [ 9 ] However, hepatic TB presenting as acute liver failure has not been reported in literature. [academic.oup.com]

The clinical presentation of ILT is so rare and atypical that it challenges the clinical acumen of the treating physician ( 2 ). [ispub.com]
