title: [Solitary liver abscesses in chronic brucellosis].
abstract: In two patients from southern Italy, the sonographic finding of great solitary focal liver lesions was contributed to brucella-abscesses (brucelloma) according to the clinical and serological data and to the results of ultrasonically guided fine needle aspiration biopsies. In both cases, laparotomy confirmed the diagnosis. We discuss the clinical findings and differential diagnosis of this uncommon inflammatory focal liver lesion.
