  • Title: Hepatic biloma complicating sickle cell disease. A case report and a review of the literature.
    Author: Middleton JP, Wolper JC.
    Journal: Gastroenterology; 1984 Apr; 86(4):743-4. PubMed ID: 6698374.
    Abstract:
    Previously reported hepatobiliary complications of sickle cell disease include cholelithiasis, intrahepatic cholestasis, cirrhosis, hepatic crisis, abscess, and infarction. We present a case of right upper quadrant pain, fever, and jaundice in a patient with sickle cell disease. An expanding intrahepatic bile-filled cyst ("biloma") was demonstrated as a possible consequence of hepatic infarction. The literature regarding the possible pathogenesis of this entity is reviewed.
