We report the first case of a healthy 23-year-old female who underwent an interventional radiology-guided embolization of a hepatic adenoma, which resulted in a gas forming hepatic liver abscess and septicemia by Clostridium paraputrificum. A retrospective review of Clostridial liver abscesses was performed using a PubMed literature search, and we found 57 clostridial hepatic abscess cases. The...

It is important that extrahepatic arteries are identified precisely at the time of graft procurement. We present a case where the accessory right hepatic artery of the liver was ligated leading to postoperative liver abscess formation in the liver graft. A forty-seven-year-old female patient diagnosed with liver cirrhosis underwent orthotopic cadaveric liver transplantation due to altered menta...

Hepatic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors are uncommon low grade malignant neoplasms. They can be confused clinically and by imaging studies with abscess.

Primary hepatic actinomycosis is one of the chronic abscess-forming infections of the liver. Accurate diagnosis is frequently delayed due to its indolent course and nonspecific clinical and radiological manifestations. We report a case of a 57-year-old man presenting with asymptomatic multiple hepatic masses on follow-up abdominal computed tomography performed 1 year after stomach cancer surger...

Hepatic abscesses can result from foreign body perforation of the gastrointestinal tract. Although uncommon, reported cases often involve solitary hepatic abscess with no obvious etiology. We describe the case of a 65-year- old female with multiple hepatic abscesses occurring secondary to chicken bone perforation of the sigmoid colon identified on colonoscopy. With prompt diagnosis, the patient...
