Introduction: The term hepatobiliary tuberculosis refers to the rare and localized form of hepatic tuberculosis as a distinct clinical entity, with signs and symptoms related to the hepatobiliary tract. We aimed to report a case of the primary biliary tuberculosis with subsequent pulmonary presentation. Conclusions: Hepatobiliary tuberculosis has delayed presentations with nonspecific manifestations. In our patient, despite that clinical presentations matched those of hepatobilliary tuberculosis, multiple biopsies from the abdominal and prepheral lymph nodes could not verify it. Therefore, diagnosis was made with delay, and finally, pulmonary presentation and positive smear for acid-fast bacilli confirmed tuberculosis.
