[Brucellar hepatic abscess: presentation of a case and review of the literature]. / Absceso hepático brucelar: presentación de un caso y revisión de la literatura.

We present a case of a brucellar liver abscess in a 25-year-old male that was successfully treated by surgery and comment on this unusual form of brucellosis. We detail the complementary exams and how the diagnosis was achieved. We also review the 23 cases reported in the world literature, commenting on them from an etiological, clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic point of view in its two aspects: medical and surgical.
