Nontraumatic hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm associated with acute leukemia: a possible complication of pyogenic liver abscess.
Most hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms result from trauma, blunt or penetrating, such as that caused by percutaneous transhepatic procedures. We present a case of hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm resulting from a pyogenic liver abscess, which has not been described previously, in a patient with acute leukemia receiving chemotherapy.
