A case report is presented of one preeclamptic patient with rupture of a big right subcapsular hematoma of the liver which was misdiagnosed with cholecystitis. A cesarean delivery was performed, which resulted is stillbirth, with abruptio placentae of 50%. The emergent treatment of the liver rupture was the right hepatic artery ligation, the postoperative development was favorable. Long term follow-up using ultrasound and liver function values were performed for 14 months and showed that the lesion has regressed with a normal hepatic imaging.
