Hemorrhage and rupture of an unusual benign liver lesion in pregnancy: A case report

Abstract Liver rupture in pregnancy is an acute condition with significant risk to the mother and fetus. It is known to occur with tumors like hepatic adenoma, infective causes such as abscess, granulomatous diseases, parasitic infections, and rarely spontaneously. Most of these conditions have overlapping clinico-radiological findings, almost always requiring histopathological confirmation. We report a case of a ruptured hepatic lesion, with an unusual diagnosis of Bartonella henselae infection causing cat scratch disease, in a 24-year-old pregnant lady.
