  • Title: Biloma following transcatheter oily chemoembolization.
    Author: Inoue Y, Nakamura H, Takashima S, Yamazaki K, Toyoshima H, Iwasaki M.
    Journal: Radiat Med; 1991; 9(2):57-60. PubMed ID: 1658854.
    Abstract:
    Hepatic biloma (bile cyst) developed in a patient after transcatheter oily chemoembolization (TOCE) with Lipiodol for hepatocellular carcinoma. The patient was treated conservatively and underwent the next TOCE uneventfully. An inappropriately large dose of Lipiodol, anticancer agent, and Gelfoam can induce biloma; however, it is not reasonable to abstain from TOCE for hepatocellular carcinoma in fear of biloma.
