description INTRODUCTION: Recipients of liver transplantation are prone to different types of infections such as tuberculosis (TB). CASE PRESENTATION: Herein we report a 59-year-old man with liver transplantation due to HBV cirrhosis who developed isolated hepatic TB, 18 months after OLT (orthotropic liver transplantation). He has been successfully treated with anti-TB regimen and now after 12 months he is completely symptom-free.

One of these is unusual primary involvement of liver by tuberculosis which has been extremely rare in the previous reports.
