Abstract
Intrahepatic hematoma is an uncommonly recognized, yet clinically significant, complication of percutaneous liver biopsy. An intrahepatic hematoma occurred after percutaneous liver biopsy and was documented by serial liver scans, hepatic angiography, and peritoneoscopy. In a subsequent prospective study, 7% (3/40) of patients having liver biopsy demonstrated solitary liver scan defects not present on the prebiopsy liver scan. Diagnostic confusion may ensue if liver scans are not obtained prior to percutaneous liver biopsy, and may result in otherwise unnecessary diagnostic procedures.
