case_images: 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.

case_images: 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).
