[Massive hepatic abscess in a liver transplant patient secondary to a late arterial graft thrombosis].

The following is the case of a 61-year-old man who had a liver transplant due to alcoholic liver disease in February 2011. He presented with a two-week history of fever and diarrhea, with continuous hypotension and with no additional pathological products. Laboratory tests showed the presence of leukocytosis, a marked increase of transaminases and deterioration of liver function. An abdominal CT scan revealed a complete arterial thrombosis of the liver transplant with a massive hepatic abscess of the left hepatic lobule with extension to the anterior segment of the right lobule and bilateral pneumobilia. This was evacuated successfully awaiting a liver retransplant (Fig. 1). c i r e s p . 2 0 1 3 ; 9 1 ( 1 0 ) : e 6 1
