title: Computed tomographic demonstration of a bileoma.
abstract: The authors present a case of a massive extrahepatic bile collection diagnosed by Computerized Tomography (CT). The appearance could not be differentiated from a subcapsular haematoma or hepatic cyst. Percutaneous aspiration not only confirmed the diagnosis but also cured the patient. Previous ultrasound examination had been misinterpreted as normal due to omission of A scale review.
