A spontaneous biloma, a rare encapsulated bile collection, caused acute abdominal pain. Diagnosis requires fluid analysis, with ultrasound playing a key role in identifying this uncommon condition.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Abdominal Imaging
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • A biloma is an encapsulated bile collection in the abdomen.
  • It can arise spontaneously or due to biliary system injury.
  • Diagnosis is suggested by clinical presentation and imaging, confirmed by fluid analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of spontaneous biloma presenting with acute abdominal pain.
  • To discuss the diagnostic utility of various imaging modalities, especially ultrasound.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a patient with spontaneous biloma.
  • Review of diagnostic imaging techniques, focusing on ultrasound.
  • Discussion of fluid drainage and biochemical analysis for definitive diagnosis.
Keywords:

Main Results:

  • A spontaneous biloma was identified as the cause of acute right hypochondrium pain.
  • The etiology of the spontaneous onset remained undetermined.
  • Ultrasound was highlighted as a crucial diagnostic tool.

Conclusions:

  • Spontaneous bilomas are rare causes of acute abdominal pain.
  • Definitive diagnosis relies on fluid analysis.
  • Ultrasound is instrumental in the diagnosis of bilomas.
