Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Hepatology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Massive hemobilia is recognized, but occult hemobilia is challenging to diagnose due to its silent nature.
  • Occult hemobilia can lead to hemocholecyst (gallbladder clot), potentially causing cystic duct obstruction and cholecystitis.
  • Previous reports primarily link hemocholecyst-induced cholecystitis to iatrogenic trauma.
