Summary
We describe a rare case of hepatic subcapsular biloma after open cholecystectomy successfully treated by percutaneous drainage. Introduction Bile leak after open or laparoscopic cholecystectomy is usually a result of minor biliary injury, it can sometimes reveal a major duct injury. It is estimated that biloma originates from the cystic duct in more than 50% of the cases [1].
