Abstract

Liver biopsy is the gold standard for assessment of hepatic fibrosis although it is associated with many complications. We reported a 28-year-old chronic HCV patient who developed gall bladder hematoma with hemobilia and melena after liver biopsy. The hematoma resolved with conservative management.
