Pyogenic liver abscess in patients with malignant disease is a fatal state and is easily diagnosed. We presented a rare case of sudden fatal septicemia following anticancer treatment for recurred gastric cancer due to multiple liver abscesses which could not be diagnosed. A 72-year-old male with recurred gastric cancer received anticancer agents. He had a history of distal gastrectomy with right hepatic lobectomy for hepatic metastasis. He received anticancer treatment in the outpatient's service center periodically, and his performance status was preserved with nothing in particular. After administrating docetaxel, he suddenly developed septicemia and multiple organ failure and died 5 days after strong medical supports. Pathological autopsy revealed that multiple minute abscesses of the liver which could not be detected macroscopically were the causes of fatal septicemia. The etiology, therapies and prognosis of rare entity are being discussed.

A 15-year-old spayed female Yorkshire Terrier was presented to our hospital with a history of anorexia, depression and abdominal pain. Diagnostic procedures including blood test, radiography and ultrasonography were performed. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed multiple hypoechoic cysts in the left lobe of the liver. Over time, the cysts increased in size and became more echogenic. Four days later, the rupture of the largest cyst was suspected, and hepatic abscesses with bacteria were confirmed by aspiration of the cyst. Despite surgical resection of the abscessed liver lobe, antibiotic administration, and supportive therapy, the dog died 9 days after presentation to the hospital and 4 days after the surgical procedure. The present case report described the overall diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for liver abscesses in a dog.

기관지폐쇄에 의한 폐농양 혹은 공동성 병변에 발생한 암성 농양은 임상 양상 및 방사선학적 소견이 흡인성 폐농양과 흡사하여 감별이 어려워서 폐암을 조기 진단할 수 있는 기회를 놓치기 쉽다. 따라서 항생제에 대한 반응이 뚜렷하지 않거나 선행 요인이 없고 비전형적인 위치에 발생한 폐농양의 경우 악성 병변의 동반 가능성을 염두에 두고 적극적인 검사가 필요하다. 저자들은 발열, 기침, 혈담, 호흡곤란을 주소로 내원하여 폐농양 의심하에 항생제 치료에도 불구하고 병변이 악화된 67세 남자 환자에서 간세침흡인생검을 통해 다발 전이성 농양을 일으킨 편평상피세포암성 농양으로 진단된 예가 있어 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe the CT findings of hepatic hypereosinophilic syndrome in which hepatic lobes or segments were involved. Materials and Methods: Seven patients with hypereosinophilic syndrome with hepatic lobar or segmental involvement were included in our study. In all seven, diagnosis was based on liver biopsy and the results of corticosteroid treatment. CT findings were retrospectively reviewed by three radiologists, who reached a consensus. Biopsy specimens were examined, with special reference to portal and periportal inflammation. Results: CT demonstrated well-defined, homogeneous or heterogeneous low attenuation with a straight margin limited to a hepatic lobe (n = 2), segments (n = 3), or subsegments (n = 2), particularly during the portal phase. Where there was subsegmental involvement, lesions were multiple, ovoid or wedge-shaped, and showed low attenuation. In two patients with lobar or segmental involvement, segmental portal vein narrowing was observed. Histopathologic examination disclosed eosinophilic infiltration in the periportal area, sinusoids and central veins, as well as portal phlebitis. Conclusion: Hypereosinophilic syndrome may involve the presence of hepatic lobar, segmental, or subsegmental low-attenuated lesions, as seen on CT images. Their presence may be related to damage of the liver parenchyma and to portal phlebitis.

The accuracy of liver scanning was evaluated in 124 cases with primary or metastatic liver tumors, including a few benign localized lesions and in 277 cases without such lesions. All findings were histologically verified by operation or autopsy. 1) Of the 124 cases with space occupying lesions(SOLs) in the liver, 92 cases were detected by liver scan(sensitivity 74.2%). And of the 277 cases without such lesions, 266 cases were evaluated as no SOLs(specificity 96.0%). The overall accuracy was 89.3%. 2) The authors evaluated the liver scan sensitivity in each of different diseases with SOLs. The sensitivity was 88.9% in primary liver carcinoma, 82.4% in primary liver carcinoma with cirrhosis, 88.7% in liver abscess, and 100% in hemangioma. The sensitivity was low in metastatic tumor(65.8%). 3) The sensitivity of the SOLs in the right lobe was 53.3% and left lobe 27.7%. In the interlobar area, detectability was 41.7%. 4) The authors compared the sensitivity of the liver scan with the size of the SOLs. The smaller the size of the SOLs, the lower the detectability. In the pachy lesions, the sensitivity was 46.6%.

겸상인대는 원인대 및 배꼽정맥의 잔유물을 포함하는 구조물로서 배꼽에서 횡격막까지 이어지는 간의 걸이인대이다. 겸상인대에서 발견되는 인대 낭종, 종양, 비정상적인 혈관, 선천적 인대결손 같은 드물게 나타나는 병인 중에서도, 겸상인대 농양은 굉장히 드문 질환이다. 따라서 겸상인대 농양에 대한 정확한 진단은 어려우며, 총담관낭의 감염이나 간농양으로 잘못 해석하기 쉽다. 저자들은 생후 25일된 신생아에게서 배꼽 정맥 도관 삽입 후 발생한 겸상인대 농양에 경피적 배액 및 항생제 투여를 통해 성공적으로 치료된 증례를 보고하고자 한다.

The first case of liver infection caused by Sphingomonas sp. and Bacillus sp. in a wild rodent is reported. A captured wild rodent, Apodemus agrarius (A. agrarius), presented with multiple liver abscess-like nodules (diameter 0.7~2.4 mm) in which Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacilli were detected simultaneously. These were grown in aerobic and anaerobic cultures, respectively, and were identified as Sphingomonas sp. and Bacillus sp., respectively, according to 16S rRNA sequencing.
