Background: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an effective and safe treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma that features a lower incidence of serious complications than surgical resection. Hemocholecyst caused by RFA is a rare complication of secondary damage to the intrahepatic bile duct that results in hemobilia.

Case Summary: Here we report on a case of a hemocholecyst caused by accidental injury during RFA that induced hematemesis and melena.

Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is a systemic vasculitis associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies, and it involves multiple organs, including the kidneys and lungs. We report on the case of a 72-year-old woman with MPA who developed hemocholecyst in addition to alveolar hemorrhage and rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. Although her renal function was not salvaged, the alveolar hemorrhage and hemocholecyst were treated conservatively.

Unlabelled: Gallbladder cancer presenting as acute cholecystitis associated with a hemocholecyst is a rare entity. Up to date there are only 2 cases reported in literature. Acute cholecystitis may appear secondary to an obstruction of the cystic duct by the tumour itself or to an obstruction of the cystic duct by blood clots.
