[Hepatic actinomycosis].

We present a case of primary liver actinomycosis in a patient who was operated on for a duodenal ulcus seven years before. A gastrectomy was performed. His gallbladder was also removed two years before. After the surgical treatment, followed by antibiotic and chemotherapeutic treatment, with the result of a pretended success, the patient developed a liver pyogenic abscess and portal hypertension. Authors emphasise the seriousness of the illness as well as its rarity even with an accurate treatment.
