Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatology
  • Surgical Sciences

Background:

  • Biloma, a collection of bile, typically arises post-trauma or surgery.
  • Spontaneous biloma is an uncommon presentation requiring further investigation into underlying causes.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with spontaneous biloma, potentially linked to common bile duct stenosis or liver infarction.
  • Initial management involved percutaneous drainage and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with papillotomy and stenting.

Findings:

  • Despite minimally invasive interventions, the patient experienced symptom recurrence.
  • A subsequent liver segment resection was required for definitive treatment.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the complex and often challenging management of spontaneous biloma.
  • It emphasizes the need for considering diverse etiologies and potentially aggressive treatment strategies for refractory cases.
