Article Synopsis
- - Military tuberculosis (MT) is a severe and potentially life-threatening form of tuberculosis characterized by widespread infection throughout the body caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis entering the bloodstream or lymphatics.
- - Diagnosing MT is challenging because it often presents with vague symptoms and physical examination findings that can confuse even experienced doctors, while bacteriological evidence is frequently absent.
- - The prognosis for MT depends heavily on how early the disease is diagnosed and treated, emphasizing the importance of prompt medical intervention, especially in vulnerable populations like children, young adults, and those with HIV.

Despite advanced imaging techniques, including ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the lesions convincingly mimicked HCC.
