RESUMO
We present a 76-year-old woman known to have a large right hepatic lobe hydatid cyst which recurred twice after surgical excision. CT-guided percutaneous alcohol ablation was conducted to scleroses the cyst, but the procedure was complicated by parenchyma liver laceration and active arterial hemorrhage from a branch of the right hepatic artery. Bleeding was controlled by both endovascular and surgical interventions. Liver laceration with arterial hemorrhage is a rare not previously reported serious complication of percutaneous treatment of hepatic hydatid cyst that may be potentially life-threatening
