Hemobilia is a rare manifestation of hepatic malignancies. The current treatment of choice for hemobilia is transcatheter hepatic arterial embolization. However, there have been only two published reports that describe the use of hepatic arterial embolization for hemobilia caused by hepatic neoplasms. In addition, this procedure is occasionally unsuccessful in the treatment of hemobilia. A case in which hemobilia caused by hepatocellular carcinoma was successfully treated with percutaneous radiofrequency tumor ablation after several failed hepatic arterial embolizations is described in this report.
