Abdominal Tuberculosis Masquerading as Malignancy in an Infant

We report a case of a 5-month-old female infant who presented with multiple liver lesions. In view of initial imaging characteristics suggestive of multiple liver metastases, a workup for the primary lesion was instituted, which revealed the lesions to be a rare presentation of disseminated tuberculosis in an infant.
