Overview
Pyogenic liver abscess must be differentiated from other diseases with similar presentation such as amoebic liver abscess, fungal liver abscess, echinococcal (hydatid) cyst and malignancy (hepatocelluar carcinoma or metastasis).[1][2][3][4]

Pyogenic liver abscess must be differentiated from:[1][2][3][4][5]
