Abstract EN
Pyogenic liver abscess, having experienced an evolving pathogenesis over the years, still remains a serious problem with significant morbidity.
Iatrogenic and ascending biliary infections are the most common known etiologies for hepatic abscess.
Here we report an interesting case of an elderly lady admitted with abdominal pain due to a pyogenic liver abscess in the left liver lobe which was attributed to perforation by an ingested fish bone.
The authors also reviewed literature for management for this rare case as there are no standard guidelines.
Our patient was successfully treated with antibiotics and percutaneous drainage with foreign body left in situ.
