Liver abscess associated with suppurative portal vein thrombosis (pylephlebitis) secondary to has been rarely reported. It is considered to be an abdominal variant of Lemierre's syndrome associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We report a case of 69-year-old man who developed liver abscess and pylephlebitis due to with an unclear source of infection. We discuss the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment strategy for this entity, with a review of previously published cases of pyelephlebitis due to in regard to their clinical presentation and outcome.

Bacterial liver abscesses commonly occur in patients with immune deficiencies such as diabetes, post-chemotherapy, or post-immunosuppressive therapy. The recommended treatment for liver abscesses exceeding 5 cm in a diameter is anti-infection therapy combined with percutaneous catheter drainage. Complications may include local spread to adjacent tissues or organs and thrombosis of the liver and portal veins.
