Haemobilia, or bleeding into the bile ducts, is a rare complication of non-parasitic liver cysts. This case highlights intra-cystic bleeding and duct communication as unusual causes.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Recurrent angiocholitis attacks in an elderly woman remained undiagnosed despite extensive investigations.
  • The patient subsequently presented with haematemesis, indicating gastrointestinal bleeding.

Observation:

  • Angiography identified haemobilia originating from an intrahepatic source.
  • Surgical and pathological examination revealed a non-parasitic liver cyst as the underlying cause.

Findings:

  • Haemobilia resulted from two rare complications of the liver cyst: intra-cystic bleeding and a fistula with an intrahepatic bile duct.
  • This represents the first reported instance of haemobilia complicating a non-parasitic liver cyst.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known complications of non-parasitic liver cysts.
  • Highlights the importance of considering rare causes of haemobilia in patients with liver lesions.
  • Suggests a need for vigilance in diagnosing and managing such complex hepatic presentations.
