Abstract
Liver abscess is an intra-abdominal infection characterized by localized pus collection with destruction of hepatic parenchyma. When a liver abscess ruptures and extends into adjacent structures, it leads to development of complications which further increases mortality rate. Involvement of peritoneal, pericardial and pleural cavity are often noted but, extension into gastro-intestinal tract is rare and unusual; with only a limited number of cases reported, we present a recently encountered case of liver abscess. The abscess was found to be complicated by formation of fistulous tract with duodenum.
