Abstract
We describe a rare case of gas-containing pyogenic liver abscess which penetrated the adjacent colon, forming a hepatocolic fistula, after percutaneous transhepatic abscess drainage (PTAD) had been performed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of hepatocolic fistula associated with a gas-forming liver abscess in a diabetic patient, with radiological and surgical confirmation of the fistula.Entities:
