The hematogenous spreading of an infectious pathogen via the portal vein from a mucosal injury in the gastrointestinal tract has been considered as one of the pathologic mechanisms of pyogenic liver abscess. Several studies have presented the association between colorectal cancer and pyogenic liver abscess. However, the cases of stomach cancer concomitant with pyogenic liver abscess have rarely been reported in the world. Herein, we present a case of advanced gastric cancer concomitant with pyogenic liver abscess in a patient who previously underwent subtotal gastrectomy due to peptic ulcer perforation.
感染性病原体经门静脉从胃肠道黏膜损伤处发生血行播散，被认为是化脓性肝脓肿的病理机制之一。多项研究表明结直肠癌与化脓性肝脓肿之间存在关联。然而，胃癌合并化脓性肝脓肿的病例在世界范围内鲜有报道。在此，我们报告一例晚期胃癌合并化脓性肝脓肿的病例，该患者曾因消化性溃疡穿孔接受胃大部切除术。
