Abstract
Spontaneous rupture of a pyogenic liver abscess is a rare entity reported. Spontaneous cutaneous rupture of a pyogenic liver abscess is even a rarer clinical entity not well documented in the literature. A patient having spontaneous cutaneous rupture of a pyogenic liver abscess is reported. The condition is rare and serious because of the possible delay in diagnosis. Recently, with the advent of ultrasound (USG) and computed tomography (CT) scan, there has been improvement in the rate of early diagnosis of liver abscess as well as in prognosis. The clinical presentation is variable; in some cases there are delays, misdiagnoses, or incidental recovery. Per cutaneous catheter drainage under USG or CT guidance has become the standard of care.
