Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Gallbladder perforation is a rare but serious complication.
  • Malignant gallbladder disease can present with unusual complications.
  • Pyrexia of unknown origin (FUO) necessitates thorough investigation.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with symptoms suggestive of a liver abscess.
  • Computed tomography (CT) scan indicated a liver abscess.
  • Surgical exploration was performed for diagnosis and management.

Findings:

  • The surgery revealed a perforated malignant gallbladder as the source of the liver abscess.
  • This presentation is an uncommon etiology for liver abscess and FUO.

Implications:
