Liver abscess that developed after a long interval of transcatheter arterial embolization followed by formation of hepatoduodenal fistula

A 55‐year‐old male patient with hepatocellular carcinoma underwent transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE). He became febrile and experienced pain at the right hypochondrial region 323 days later, which led to the discovery of a liver abscess that fistulated into the duodenal bulb. There have been no reports on the fistulation of liver abscesses into the digestive system following TAE. Rhodococcus equi was isolated as a causative agent, which distinguished the case further.
