title: Ultrasonography and computed tomography in the evaluation of hepatic microabscesses in the immunosuppressed patient.
abstract: The computed tomographic body scans and ultrasonograms from two patients with hepatic microabscesses are discussed. During ultrasonography a "target" appearance, typical of metastatic disease, was noted. The usual appearance of hepatic abscesses as well as a differential diagnosis for these lesions is presented.
