Core Tip
Core Tip: In this work, we present a rare clinical case in which a ruptured malignant liver tumor with invasion of the gallbladder was suspected but was proven to be a liver hematoma secondary to gallbladder perforation after surgery. Moreover, we conducted a literature review on intrahepatic gallbladder perforation. Here, the symptoms, examinations, diagnosis and treatments of intrahepatic gallbladder perforation are summarized. Additionally, we propose a new classification system for gallbladder perforation, which provides a valuable reference for the diagnosis and treatment of this condition.
