Hepatic tuberculosis (TB) in two children. a A transverse abdominal ultrasound in a 3-year-old boy reveals multiple small (3–5 mm) hyperechoic nodules, some of which exhibit posterior shadowing compatible with micronodular hepatic TB. b An axial contrast-enhanced computed tomography  abdominal image in a 7-year-old girl shows multiple round nodules measuring more than 10 mm. The lesions are low in attenuation with some showing central hyperattenuation. Some of the lesions in the left hepatic lobe coalesce and appear mass-like
