Abstract

A 55-year-old man with a history of pancreatic cancer surgery and was undergoing chemotherapy presented with high fever. A computed tomography scan revealed a liver abscess at the location of a previously identified hemangioma. PTAD was performed, and contrast imaging revealed a connection with the bile duct. Edwardsiella tarda was detected in the abscess culture. Hemangioma-related abscess formation is extremely rare, with no reported cases of E. tarda detection in such abscesses.
