Abstract
- A 64-year-old woman was admitted with fever and cough. At admission, she had jaundice, hepatomegaly, and green-stained sputum. Computed tomography (CT) showed an intrahepatic abscess located near the dome, multiple hepatic metastases, biliary tract dilatation, and a right pleural effusion. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography demonstrated a communication between the intrahepatic biliary ducts and the bronchial tree. The patient was treated with antibiotic therapy, pleural and biliary drainages and a percutaneous drainage of the hepatic abscess.
