Description

With an increase in the incidence of colorectal cancer in recent years, there have been occasional reports on liver abscess occurring with colon cancer. It is difficult to differentiate this condition from from liver metastasis. One of the causes of liver abscess is secondary infection of liver metastasis, which was caused by colorectal cancer. We report the case of a 76-year-old man who had concurrently undergone resection of colorectal cancer and hepatectomy for a liver abscess in which liver metastasis could not be ruled out in the preoperative diagnosis. Since different surgeons have used different treatment strategies for liver abscess which occurred with colon cancer we have also included some literature review in our report.
