Abstract

Liver abscesses are relatively rare, especially these ones caused by foreign bodies that reached the liver by penetrating the
gastrointestinal tract. We present a case of a 52-year old lady with a liver abscess which etiology was found after percutaneous abscess drainage. After the procedure, the patient was treated conservatively with a favorable outcome. Interventional radiology procedure is intended to help clear the etiology and the medical treatment of a liver abscess.
