Repeat transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) becomes more challenging for patients with intrahepatic biloma following TACE for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical course, incidence, imaging features and outcome and to explore the reasonable therapy scheme for intrahepatic biloma following TACE for HCC.A total of 4,695 TACE procedur...

A biloma by definition is an encapsulated collection of bile outside the biliary tree. It is mainly caused by iatrogenic injury or abdominal trauma. A spontaneous infected biloma without any underlying disease is a very rare finding. We report here a case of infected spontaneous biloma confirmed by ultrasonography, computed tomography and sonographically guided percutaneous aspiration and revie...

BACKGROUND Jaundice presenting after cholecystectomy may be the initial manifestation of a serious surgical misadventure and requires rigorous diagnostic pursuit and therapeutic intervention. Biloma is a well recognized postcholecystectomy complication that often accompanies biliary ductal injury. CASE REPORT A 23-year-old female underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallston...

A "biloma" is a loculated collection of bile located outside of the biliary tree. It can be caused by traumatic, iatrogenic or spontaneous rupture of the biliary tree. Prior reports have documented an association of biloma with abdominal trauma, surgery and other primary causes, but spontaneous bile leakage has rarely been reported. A spontaneous infected biloma, without any underlying disease,...

A biloma is a rare abnormal accumulation of intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile caused by a traumatic or spontaneous rupture of the biliary tree. The reported incidence of postoperative biloma ranges from 4.8% to 7.6%. Biliary drainage is usually important and necessary for the treatment of biloma, but sometimes bile leakage fails to improve despite prolonged conservative drainage. We report a ca...

Encapsulated collections of bile ("biloma") may be a sequela of liver trauma, operative injury or disease. Such collections may be intrahepatic or extrahepatic and usually in the supramesocolic compartment of the abdomen. This is a report of a retroperitoneal biloma, an entity that has been reported only twice to date but this is the first secondary to an operative common bile duct lesion. Evac...

A 54-year-old man presented with jaundice and an elevated serum bilirubin level of 11.86mg/dL after radiofrequency ablation of hepatic metastases from rectal carcinoma. A high-grade stenosis at the common bile duct (CBD) was diagnosed on endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC), and computed tomography showed a 7-cm intrahepatic biloma compressing the CBD (●" Fig.1). A subsequent attempt to ...

Subcapsular bilomas are a rare complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy and an even more rare occurrence to occur spontaneously. We present a case of left sided subcapsular biloma following a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The location of the biloma was unrelated to our area of dissection. The operation was without difficult dissection or pressurization of the biliary tree. In addition, we p...

The development of an intra-abdominal bile collection (biloma) is an infrequent complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). These bilomas develop in the subhepatic space most often secondary to iatrogenic injury of the extrahepatic ducts. We present a case of hepatic subcapsular biloma following LC and we discuss its etiology and management. Early diagnosis is crucial and percutaneous dr...

with complaints of appetite loss and ab− dominal pain. Abdominal computed to− mography demonstrated a tumor of the gallbladder and dilatation of intrahepatic bile ducts. Although he was not jaun− diced, he was suspected to have a malig− nant hilar biliary stricture, and percuta− neous transhepatic cholangiography was performed on the right lobe of the liver with placement of a drainage catheter...
