A pyogenic liver abscess secondary to appendicitis infection is a rare manifestation that has not been well illustrated in the United States due to its infrequency and the variability of each clinical presentation. Here, we discuss a 55-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain, fever, chills, and weight loss and was found to have a pyogenic liver abscess suspected secondary to radiographic-proven acute appendicitis. The purpose of this article is to describe a patient who presented with noteworthy clinical features and a rare cause of hepatic abscess, to aid in the treatment and diagnosis of future patients.
