Hepatic vasculitis mimicking multiple liver abscesses in Cogan's Syndrome.

We report a rare case of a patient with typical Cogan syndrome who developed hepatic vasculitis with hepatic infarction mimicking multiple liver abscesses. Diagnosis of CS is often missed or delayed due to its rarity, the nonspecific clinical signs at onset, and the lack of a confirmatory diagnostic test. Rheumatologists should be aware of this entity and its possible systemic manifestations. The present case is unique because of the severity and involved area of the vasculitis.
