Abstract
Hepato-cutaneous fistula is a rare clinical entity which develops commonly after a complication due to hydatid disease of the liver. Few cases of it have also been reported following percutaneous catheter drainage of liver abscess due to actinomyces,burkholderia pseudomallei and entamoeba histolytica. In case of hydatid cyst of liver, it develops following spontaneous rupture or some intervention. In rest other, it always follows the percutaneous catheter drainage as a part of active underlying diseases process.
