Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a disorder of polymorphonuclear leukocytes that can cause multiple recurrent hepatic abscesses in 40% of those patients with the disorder. The mortality rate from this complication of CGD is estimated at 27%. Treatment has consisted of extensive surgical debridement and drainage and prolonged antibiotic therapy; however, this approach is accompanied by high morbidity and the frequent need for reoperation. Successful percutaneous drainage of multiple hepatic abscesses in a patient who had previously undergone 10 operative procedures to manage hepatic abscesses is reported. With the development of imaging and percutaneous drainage techniques, as well as the recurrent nature of this problem, percutaneous management should be given consideration in appropriate patients with CGD with hepatic abscesses.
