Hepatic biloma

A biloma is a benign collection of bile outside of the gallbladder and bile ducts.

These are often found within the liver but can also be found elsewhere in the abdominal cavity.

Small spontaneous bilomas are often asymptomatic.

Post surgical and traumatic biloma formation can have non-specific symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, weight loss, jaundice, fever and abdominal tenderness.
