A 58-year-old woman presented with fever and right upper abdominal pain. She had cholecystectomy and choledochoenterostomy as a result of biliary stone disease 15 years ago. Laboratory findings showed WBC 20 910/mm3, ALP 191 IU/L [45-129], ALT 261 IU/L [5-35], Total Bilirubin 3.7 mg/dl and CA19-9 11.3 U/ml. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed a 6.5 x 5.2 cm irregular mass with peripheral rim enhancement. No definite calcified stone or stricture was noted at choledochoenterostomy site (Fig. 1). Under a diagnosis of liver abscess, empirical antibiotics were started and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopan-creatography (ERCP) was performed to rule out radio-lucent biliary stone, hidden stricture or malignancy.
