摘要
Indirect and extraperitoneal penetrating liver injury is an extremely uncommon phenomenon. In this report, we highlight the case of an 18-year-old male patient that sustained a gunshot wound with an entry site through the right buttock and landed in the liver. He presented to us in sepsis due to developing a hepatic abscess at the site of the dislodged bullet that was confirmed with computed tomography. Interestingly, the ballistic missile did not cause any visceral injury due to its indirect and extraperitoneal trajectory. The patient underwent diagnostic laparoscopy, where the hepatic abscess was unroofed and evacuated. A free-floating bullet was found and extracted, and a small bile duct leak was repaired. The patient had an uneventful post-operative course and was duly discharged on an empiric course of antibiotics.
