Core Tip	We report the case of a patient with a history of previous cholecystectomy for lithiasis who presented with a clinical picture suggestive of acute pancreatitis. Imaging studies revealed the presence of an asymptomatic biloma, which could be mistaken for a pseudocyst. We therefore reviewed the literature, focusing on the role of ultrasonography, which can reveal some typical aspects, such as location and imaging features. We conclude that ultrasound plays a key role in the assessment of a suspected biloma in patients with appropriate history and clinical features and provides valuable diagnostic clues even in the absence of these.
