Tumor-small intestine fistula is a rare phenomenon and occurs as a result of GISTs' propensity to cause mucosal ulceration. This allows bacteria from the gut to gain access to the systemic circulation and predisposes the patient to bacteremia and pyogenic liver abscess.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Presentation of case:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We present a case of a 63-year-old female whose initial symptoms included fever, nausea, vomiting and right upper quadrant pain. Radiologic studies revealed a liver lesion and an intra-abdominal mass containing oral contrast, suggesting involvement of the gastrointestinal tract.
