UNASSIGNED: We describe a case of effective use of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided drainage of an infected @entity4937 ( @entity4937 ) of the liver. The @entity1 was an 84-year-old @entity1 who was admitted with complaints of continuous @entity158 and a slight fever. Laboratory data revealed severe @entity32 . Computed tomography scanning showed a 110-mm @entity5409 with enhanced @entity5 in the medial segment of the liver associated with a cyst in the right lobe and subcapsular @entity96 . Streptococcus species were detected in the culture of cystic fluid, and a diagnosis of infected @entity4937 was suspected. Although the @entity1 was medicated by antibiotics, the fever did not resolve. EUS-guided transgastric drainage was performed for the abscess of the medial segment of the liver. Fourteen days after the endoscopic procedure, the plastic drainage tube was replaced with a metal stent. Inserting an endoscope into the liver cyst through the metal stent permitted observation and biopsy of an @entity5 , and the diagnosis of @entity4937 was confirmed. The @entity1 was discharged with the internal metal stent still in place.
