Abstract
In conclusion, pyogenic liver abscess in hepatocellular carcinoma is unusual. Most of the reported cases occurred after a treatment such as transcatheter arterial embolization or percutaneous ultrasound-guided ethanol injection. Salomonella very rarely causes pyogenic liver abscesses. Only 14 cases have been reported in the English literature since 1911. Salmonella liver abscess occurring within a primary neoplasm is even rarer. There were only two such cases described in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma before. The present case is the third one, but it may be the first case of obvious spontaneous gas-forming liver abscess caused by Salmonella within hepatocellular carcinoma.Entities:
