Liver abscess is commonly a solitary lesion in the liver and occurs as consequence of the biliary tract infection. Multiple liver abscesses and abscesses of other etiology are not frequently reported. Overall mortality of multiple liver abscess is very high, if left with no treatment or not treated early. The paper presents a case of a 62‑year‑old female with multiple pyogenic liver abscesses of etiology diagnosed intraoperatively, who was successfully treated by percutaneous drainage and antibiotic therapy.
