CT images before and after PCD. A. CT images on 3 days before PCD: a 4 cm liver abscess located in segment IV (arrow). B, C. CT images on 2 days after PCD: subcapsular and intrahepatic hematoma (asterisk), subcapsular and intraabdominal hypo-intense fluid collection (arrowhead), residual liver abscess and drainage catheter shedding. D. CT images on 34 days after PCD: repeated CT revealed hematoma and ascites had been absorbed significantly, abscess cavity closure with residual subcapsular fluid accumulation. CT = computed tomography, PCD = percutaneous catheter drainage.

IV (Fig. 1A). Insulin was administered subcutaneously to control his hyperglycemia. Abdominal enhanced CT further revealed intrahepatic and subcapsular hematoma extending from the right diaphragmatic face to the hilum, intra-abdominal fluid accumulation, and catheter shedding (Fig. 1B and C). Thirty-four days after PCD, repeated abdominal enhanced CT disclosed that the previous hematoma had been absorbed significantly, with ascites resolution and abscess cavity closure (Fig. 1D).
