Sumario:We report a case of an 86-year-old Hispanic male who presented with generalized itching and jaundice. Computed tomography (CT) imaging revealed a hepatic mass and an extensive spontaneous biloma, a condition rarely associated with malignancy. Subsequent biopsy of the mass confirmed moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of the pancreaticobiliary tract. The patient underwent successful percutaneous drainage of the biloma and was discharged with a plan for further outpatient management. This case study highlights a rare manifestation of spontaneous biloma related to malignancy, broadening the clinical understanding of its association with malignancy, diagnosis, and management.
