RODRIGUEZ GIL, Ernesto; PUN JAIMES, Roberto I  y  VELAZQUEZ LOPEZ, Irán. Pyogenic hepatic abscess secondary to a foreign body. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2017, vol.56, n.3, pp. 1-7. ISSN 1561-2945.

Pyogenic hepatic abscess is a disease secondary to a primary focus whose basic pathways of infection are the bile duct and the portal system. The case is presented of a 23-year-old patient with pain at the level of the upper hemiabdomen and who reported having ingested a wire in the shape of a hook. Upon the basis of the antecedents and complementary examinations the possibility is interpreted for a hepatic abscess secondary to a foreign body. Drainage of the abscess and jejunostomy were performed to remove the foreign body from the endoluminal system. Currently, the patient is fully recovered.
