Hepatic actinomycosis can mimic hepatocellular carcinoma, leading to diagnostic challenges. Early suspicion and comprehensive evaluation are crucial for accurate diagnosis and successful treatment of this rare liver infection.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Hepatic actinomycosis is a rare granulomatous infection.
  • It can present with non-specific symptoms like weight loss and poor appetite.
  • Imaging findings may resemble primary liver malignancies.

Observation:

  • A 64-year-old male presented with symptoms mimicking hepatocellular carcinoma.
  • Initial investigations including ultrasound, CT, and liver biopsy were inconclusive.
  • Laparotomy was required for definitive diagnosis via surgical resection.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with hepatic actinomycosis.
  • Successful treatment was achieved post-diagnosis.
  • Hepatic actinomycosis shares clinical and radiological similarities with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for hepatic actinomycosis in liver disease cases.
  • Diagnostic difficulties underscore the need for integrated diagnostic approaches.
  • Awareness of this differential diagnosis is vital for appropriate patient management.
