Cryptogenic liver abscess (CLA) is a well-known disease entity that has puzzled clinicians for centuries. With the advancement of diagnostic modalities, comes the decreasing incidence of liver abscess labelled as 'cryptogenic' in nature. Colonic diseases have been identified as a possible underlying condition found in patients with liver abscesses. Although rare, tubullovillous adenomas have been implicated as one of the colonic causes of a CLA. We present a case of a CLA in a 53-year-old man with a potentially associated tubullovillous adenoma found via colonoscopy.
隐源性肝脓肿（CLA）是一种几个世纪以来一直困扰临床医生的知名疾病实体。随着诊断方式的进步，本质上被标记为“隐源性”的肝脓肿发病率在下降。结肠疾病已被确定为肝脓肿患者可能存在的潜在病因。尽管罕见，但绒毛管状腺瘤被认为是CLA的结肠病因之一。我们报告一例53岁男性的CLA病例，该患者通过结肠镜检查发现了一个可能与之相关的绒毛管状腺瘤。
