We present a rare case of primary hepatic tuberculosis in a 50-year-old man who presented with pain at the right hypochondrium. The diagnosis was established by fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the primary hepatic lesions in both lobes of the liver, which was further supported by histopathological examination and tissue PCR for Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the FNAC specimens.
