    Abstract:
    A 67-yr-old anicteric man with esophageal varices underwent a percutaneous liver biopsy. The procedure was complicated by bile peritonitis resulting in an acute abdomen that was successfully managed conservatively with intravenous fluids, antibiotic therapy, and intensive care unit monitoring. The published literature on this complication after liver biopsy is reviewed.
