Traumatic Intrahepatic Biloma – A Rare Entity Mimicking Neoplasm of the Liver: A Case Report

Abstract

Summary Bilomas represent large collections of bile, produced due to a rupture of bile ducts. Most frequently, they are located in the perihepatic tissues, rarely intrahepatic ones. Usually, bile ducts rupture is caused by trauma, spontaneous or iatrogenic, or some underlying disease. The majority of bilomas cases are treated by means of drainage procedures. In spite of advanced diagnostic techniques, sometimes they can be misinterpreted as neoplasm. We report a case of biloma that was surgically removed due to suspicion of malignancy, which was histologically examined.
