History
This woman was admitted to Porirua Hospital with senile dementia; in the year following
her admission she developed abdominal pain and died. At autopsy this lesion was demonstrated
with secondary deposits in the liver, extension into the duodenum and into the hepatic ducts with
consequent obstruction and development of a liver abscess.
