OBJECTIVES: We aim to illustrate the multimodal imaging spectrum of hepatic involvement in @entity378 ( @entity378 ). Whilst disseminated @entity378 on imaging typically manifests as @entity75 scattered in the liver parenchyma, isolated @entity16398 remains a rare and intriguing entity. METHODS: Indubitably, imaging is the mainstay for detection of tubercular @entity99 which display a broad spectrum of imaging manifestations on different modalities. While sonography and computed tomography (CT) findings have been described in some detail, there is a paucity of literature on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features. Due to a significant overlap with other commoner and similar appearing @entity99 , @entity16398 is often either misdiagnosed or labelled as indeterminate lesions. This article is a compendium of cases highlighting the spectrum of imaging patterns that can be encountered in @entity1 with isolated primary @entity16398 as well as disseminated (secondary) disease. Rare patterns of @entity66 such as tubercular @entity255 , @entity409 , and those with @entity455 are also illustrated and discussed. CONCLUSIONS: Imaging plays a valuable role in the detection of tubercular @entity99 . Also, imaging can be helpful in their characterisation and for assessing associated complications. TEACHING POINTS:     Hepatic @entity378 has myriad imaging manifestations and is often confounded with @entity1313 .     Imaging patterns include @entity9758 , macronodular @entity378 , serohepatic @entity378 and tubercular @entity255 .     Concurrent splenic, nodal or pulmonary involvements are helpful pointers towards the diagnosis.     Miliary calcifications along the bile ducts are characteristic of tubercular @entity255 .     Histological/microbiological confirmation is often necessary to confirm the diagnosis.
