Abstract Hepatic actinomycosis with abdominal wall invasion was found by computed tomography (CT) in a 44-year-old woman. Occlusion of the main and right portal veins by the actinomycoma causing cavernous transformation was proven by angiography. Duodenobiliary reflux and communication between the biliary tree and the abscess were demonstrated by upper gastrointestinal radiography, percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram, and CT. The imaging studies reflected the pathologic process of this disease. The unique feature of this case is that infection ascended through the duodenobiliary reflux; this should be considered one of the routes for the transmission of hepatic actinomycosis.
