Abstract

A 64-year old man was presented to the emergency room for a lower extremity edema and cellulitis. Blood tests showed leukocytosis while computed tomography revealed multiple small hepatic fluid collections suspicious for abscesses. The patient developed sepsis after attempting to drain. Final diagnosis by Hepatobiliary Imino Diacetic Acid scan was spontaneous bilomas with iatrogenic septic complication, post-intervention.
