Abstract
Biloma is an encapsulated intra or extra-hepatic collection of bile after biliary tree trauma. Post-procedural and traumatic biliary damage are the most common etiologic causes. Gallbladder perforation due to acute cholecystitis rarely presents with biloma occurrence. We present a case of large extrahepatic biloma formation as a consequence of a perforated gallbladder.
