Liver abscess secondary to fishbone ingestion: case report and review of the literature
We report a rare silent migration of a fishbone into the liver and review the relevant literature. A 56-year-old man presented with a 2-day history of dull epigastric pain and raised inflammatory markers. Computerized tomography scan revealed a 4-cm abscess in the left lobe of the liver, with a line...

description | We report a rare silent migration of a fishbone into the liver and review the relevant literature. A 56-year-old man presented with a 2-day history of dull epigastric pain and raised inflammatory markers. Computerized tomography scan revealed a 4-cm abscess in the left lobe of the liver, with a linear radio-dense foreign body within the collection. At laparoscopy the hepatogastric fistula was disconnected. The fishbone was retrieved from the liver. Gastrostomy was closed with an omental patch. The patient had an uneventful recovery. Fifty-two cases of liver abscess secondary to enterohepatic fishbone migration were reported with over two-thirds presenting with a left-lobe abscess. There was marked variability in the management of liver abscess in the setting of fishbone migration-summarized in table. We believe that laparoscopic drainage of the abscess and extraction of the foreign body offer control of the source of sepsis and diminishes recurrence, whilst having a low-risk profile. |
