- We report the case of an Hispanic female diabetic patient admitted to our hospital complaining of progressive abdominal pain, weight loss, nausea and vomiting. Work-up included an abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan which reported a large liver mass consistent with atypical abscess. Serum alpha-fetoprotein value was normal, so a fine needle aspiration biopsy of the liver was performed and the report was consistent with an actinomycosis-induced abscess. Patient was treated with intravenous and oral amoxicillin with satisfactory clinical response.
