Neonatal hepatic abscess, a rare condition primarily affecting preterm infants, can also occur in term newborns. This report details two rare cases of liver abscess in term infants presenting with a ruptured abdominal mass.

Area of Science:

Pediatrics
Hepatology
Neonatology

Background:

Neonatal hepatic abscess is a rare condition.
It is predominantly observed in preterm infants, often linked to umbilical catheterization.
Liver abscess in term neonates without predisposing factors is exceptionally rare.

Observation:

This report presents two cases of liver abscess in term neonates.
Both infants presented with an abdominal mass, indicative of a ruptured abscess.
The absence of typical predisposing factors in term neonates highlights the unusual nature of these cases.

Findings:

The study documents rare occurrences of liver abscess in term neonates.
Rupture of the hepatic abscess led to the presentation of an abdominal mass.

Keywords:

Neonatal hepatic abscess Parietal wall Rupture

These findings underscore the need for considering hepatic abscess in term neonates with abdominal masses, even without apparent risk factors.

Implications:

These cases expand the understanding of neonatal hepatic abscess presentation.
Early diagnosis and management are crucial for improving outcomes in affected term neonates.
Further research may elucidate the specific mechanisms leading to hepatic abscess in term infants without conventional risk factors.
