Hepatic abscess secondary to gallbladder perforation: Case report and literature review

Abstract

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.
