Liver abscess is a rare disease. In this paper we present five unusual cases of liver absceses. These cases represents 5.68% from all patients with liver abscesses treated in the First Surgical Clinic Ia?i, from 1977 to 2007. The ethiology of the abscesses was different: intrahepatic biliary duct migration of Ascaris lumbricoides, migration of a foreign body (toothpick) from stomach into the liver, infected hydatid cyst with a large biliary leak and cholangitis and, residual cavities after surgical treatment of hepatic hydatid cyst associated with foreign bodies. Another case was a patient with a very large, multilocular liver abscess (2000 mL) with biliary ethiology. In all cases a surgical drainage was performed. In the cases with hydatid cysts and biliary leakage, ERCP procedures were performed. The postoperative course was uneventful. Conclusions: Surgical treatment remains a valuable option in the treatment of pyogenic hepatic abscesses especially in unusual form.
