Case Discussion
The imaging findings are suspicious for metastatic colorectal cancer, especially in the setting of a Bacteroides bacteremia. Bacteroides bacteremia has a high mortality rate (~25%) with malignancy, in particular, colorectal cancer, being a major association and is often the primary infection site. The patient died before a histological diagnosis was made.
