Percutaneous drainage of abscess along with parenteral metronidazole can prevent the need for extensive surgical intervention. Timely intervention is usually followed by complete recovery.

Background: Hepatogastric fistula (HGF) is an uncommon occurrence that can be associated with various medical conditions. The primary causes typically involve peptic ulcer disease, infections (such as pyogenic, amoebic or tuberculosis), or iatrogenic factors (like post transarterial chemoembolization or radiotherapy). Massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage following HGF is extremely rare, with iodine-125 (I) seed migration to the stomach through HGF not previously documented.

Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is an uncommon entity characterized by papillary growth within the bile duct lumen. IPNB is regarded as a biliary counterpart of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas, which sometimes complicates with fistula formation to adjacent organs, mainly due to high-pressure related erosion from mucin-filled ducts. However, fistula formation from IPNB is quite rare.
