Abstract

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided liver biopsy is gaining popularity for liver parenchymal sampling due to its detailed visualization of liver anatomy, precision in sampling, and the ability to combine liver biopsy with other endoscopic goals. In this study, we present a case involving an anatomically complex, immunocompromised patient who underwent EUS-guided liver biopsy. While the samples were sufficient and progressed the management of her autoimmune hepatitis, her course was complicated by a multiloculated liver abscess. EUS liver biopsy has an excellent safety profile, but a small risk of infection remains, especially in immunocompromised patients or those with preexisting biliary obstruction.
