A hepatic abscess is a potentially life-threatening condition that can lead to major complications if left untreated. One of the rarest complications of hepatic abscesses is rupture into adjacent organs like the duodenum, stomach, and colon. We report a case of an elderly male patient with a hepatic abscess that ruptured into the duodenum and colon, forming fistulous connections. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only reported case of hepatic abscess with simultaneous hepatoduodenal and hepatotoxic fistulas, confirmed radiologically and endoscopically. This report signifies the need for a high level of vigilance for extremely rare complications in relatively common conditions.
肝脓肿是一种潜在的危及生命的疾病,如果不治疗可能会导致严重并发症。肝脓肿最罕见的并发症之一是破裂进入相邻器官,如十二指肠、胃和结肠。我们报告一例老年男性患者,其肝脓肿破裂进入十二指肠和结肠,形成瘘管连接。据我们所知,这是唯一一例经放射学和内镜检查证实同时存在肝十二指肠瘘和肝结肠瘘的肝脓肿报告病例。本报告表明,对于相对常见疾病中的极其罕见并发症需要保持高度警惕。
