Core Tip	We describe a case of a 43-year-old woman with a small hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm (HAP) that was persistently symptomatic and avoided radiographic detection at an early stage. High clinical suspicion and close clinical/radiological follow-up is required for patients with risk factors such as previous liver biopsy, even if an initial workup is negative. These small HAPs may cause symptoms as late as several weeks after a liver biopsy, and have the potential to afflict severe complications such as hemobilia and thrombosis of the hepatic artery branches, resulting in hepatic infarction and abscess formation.
