Hepatic metastases from carcinoid tumours are typically solid, hypervascular lesions on imaging. The cystic form, mimicking an abscess, is extremely rare. We report a case of a 48-year-old female presenting with a large hepatic mass that was diagnosed as a hepatic abscess, but the ultrasound-guided biopsy showed well-differentiated grade 1 neuroendocrine tumour. CT scan of chest, abdomen and pelvis was performed, looking for the primary tumour, it revealed an endobronchial mass of the right inferior lobe. Lung biopsy by rigid bronchoscopy was taken confirming the diagnosis of a typical carcinoid tumour.
