Abstract
The common histopathologic hepatic manifestations in patients infected with
Salmonella
include cloudy swelling and balloon degeneration with vacuolation of the hepatocytes and steatosis. Hepatic granulomas are a very rare finding, so far reported in very few cases. We report a 64-year-old patient with
Salmonella
enteritis who was found to have multiple 1.4 to 1.6 cm hypoechoic liver masses on ultrasound of the abdomen which on biopsy revealed hepatic granulomas. This case highlights the importance of keeping the differential diagnosis of
Salmonella typhi
(
S. typhi
) in mind in a patient with hepatic granulomas.
