Pyogenic hepatic abscess is an uncommon disease, and hepatic abscess secondary to gallbladder perforation is even rarer. We present a case of hepatic abscess secondary to gallbladder perforation, who presented with nonspecific clinical features. The diagnosis was made by radiological imaging and it was treated by percutaneous drainage followed by drainage of hepatic abscess and cholecystectomy. There are very few reported cases of hepatic abscess secondary to gallbladder perforation, we report one such case and also review the literature for similar cases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
