摘要：
Clostridium septicum is an uncommon cause of pyogenic liver abscess but has been reported in the literature, most commonly in the setting of underlying colorectal or hematologic malignancies. Herein, we present a case of a patient with C. septicum bacteremia resulting in innumerable necrotic liver abscesses in the presence of metastatic colonic adenocarcinoma and also review the literature about previous reports of C. septicum as the etiology of hepatic abscess.
