Abstract Background Umbilical vein bacterial infections may cause liver abscesses during bacterial ascent. A single liver abscess can be surgically treated by marsupialization, but a risk of recurrence or non-healing remains. Moreover, there is no effective treatment for multiple abscesses. Case presentation A 17-day-old Holstein female calf exhibited reduced general condition, swelling and drainage of the umbilicus, and pressure sores in the area of the carpus, resulting in reluctance to stand up. The umbilicus showed pain at palpation; deep abdominal palpation indicated a swollen umbilical vein coursing from the umbilicus toward the liver. Ultrasonography confirmed a swollen umbilical vein with pus accumulation and multiple abscesses in the liver. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) examination confirmed that the swollen umbilical vein with fluid continued to the liver, and multiple unenhanced lesions, most likely abscesses, were confirmed in the liver. Partial hepatectomy was performed to remove as many abscesses as possible. For the resection, a vessel sealing device (LigaSureTM) was used to excise a part of the left liver lobe. As we could not remove all the abscesses in the liver during the operation, cefazolin sodium (5 mg/kg) was administered for 14 days after surgery. Post-operatively, blood accumulation was observed in the abdominal cavity, but no signs of peritonitis were found. The calf returned to the farm on day 38 after surgery. Follow-up information was obtained after 1 year, and complications were not reported. Conclusions To our knowledge, this is the first report of partial hepatectomy using a vessel sealing device for a calf with multiple liver abscesses. This case report suggests that the combination of partial hepatectomy and long-term administration of antibacterial drugs may restore the health of calves with multiple liver abscesses.

Introduction: Extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma/PNET is a small round cell sarcoma showing gene fusions of EWSR1-FLI1. A 28-year-old male patient presented with right ank pain and low gr Case Report: ade fever since 15 days. On examination: a mass was palpable in the right hypochondrium. Provisional diagnosis of Liver abscess has been made. USG abdomen shows features cystic lesion in the liver with internal septation ?Liver abscess /Hydatid cyst. Intraoperatively, tumor was seen attached to upper pole of kidney. Since tumor was large, it was ruptured intraoperatively and debulking surgery has been done. Under microscopy, tumor was arranged in sheets with intervening stroma showing desmoplastic reaction. Perivascular pseudorosettes are seen. The diagnosis of malignant small round cell tumor has been given. On immunohistochemistry, tumor cells are positive for Vimentin, CD99, NKX2.2 , FLI1, Neurolaments, Synaptophysin with focal immunoreactivity for EMA, Pancytokeratin. Final diagnosis was EXTRASKELETAL EWING SARCOMA/PNET. Discussion: Extra-skeletal Ewing sarcoma/PNET is malignant soft tissue tumor seen in chest wall, thigh, paravertebal region etc. Retroperitoneum is a least common site. Most common presentation is swelling in the soft tissue with compressive symptoms. Histologically, it is composed of undifferentiated small round cells. Conclusion: Clinical examination and radiological ndings leads to ambiguous diagnosis in Ewing sarcoma/PNET. Hence proper histopathological study is essential for nal diagnosis.
