Abstract
Pyogenic hepatic abscesses represent a pathology whose prevalence has increased in recent years. In the past, surgical treatment of pyogenic liver abscesses was the gold standard. Nowadays, percutaneous drainage has become the first-line treatment. We report the case of a pyogenic liver abscess caused by acute appendicitis. Our management consisted of a combined treatment: percutaneous drainage of the abscess followed by appendectomy.
