A 64-year-old woman with upper abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting was admitted. The magnetic resonance imaging revealed marked dilation and "crowding" of the segment 4 bile ducts with an area suspicious for a stone or tumor. Ultrasonography-guided percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography revealed
Malignant hypercalcemia and thrombocytopenia may result from bone metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma (CC). Our case was 53-year-old man admitted to emergency department with symptoms of anorexia, weight loss, nausea, vomiting, and general fatigue in February 2012. His laboratory findings showed
Surgery is the only known curative treatment option for cholangiocarcinoma. Ex situ liver surgery and autotransplantation are promising approaches in cases that cannot be treated by conventional methods and particularly in the presence of centrally localized liver tumors as well as tumors
OBJECTIVE
In nonresectable cholangiocellular carcinoma (CCC) therapeutic options are limited. Recently, systemic chemotherapy has shown response rates of up to 30%. Additional regional therapy of the arterially hyper vascularized hepatic tumors might represent a rational approach in an attempt to
BACKGROUND
A 72-year-old hypertensive woman presented with a 2-month history of right upper quadrant abdominal pain. She had a 15-day history of jaundice, fever with chills and shivering, nausea, vomiting, weight loss and generalized pruritus.

Fascioliasis is a zoonotic infestation caused by Fasciola hepatica that usually attacks mammals, such as goats, sheep and cattle. The parasites can infect humans via freshwater plants contaminated with encysted metacercariae. In the acute phase, which involves hepatic invasion, the disease may
Intraductal papillary cholangiocarcinoma (IPC) is a rare form of bile duct neoplasm with only 28 cases reported in the English literature to date. We report a rare case of an IPC arising in a liver containing many von Meyenberg complexes (VMC) in a 70-year-old woman. She presented with colicky right
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-related lymphoepithelioma-like cholangiocarcinoma (LELCC) is an extremely rare primary liver tumor with nonspecific clinical manifestations. The clinicopathological features of EBV-associated LELCC have been reported in a few cases. But reports of the tumor's Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is an uncommon cancer and accounts only for 3% of all gastrointestinal malignancies. In this report, we present a case of an intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma masquerading as acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP). A 38-year-old female who is 36-week pregnant presented with a

Obstructive jaundice due to hilar cholangiocarcinoma is difficult to decompress because of the location of the tumor. We used external radiation alone for biliary decompression and reviewed its efficacy in this study. Subjects comprised 14 patients diagnosed as having inoperable hilar
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of doxorubicin-loaded drug-eluting beads transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) with CalliSpheres microspheres (CSM) in treating unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). Methods: 88 unresectable ICC patients
To report clinical outcomes of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) using drug-eluting beads (DEBs) loaded with doxorubicin for the treatment of unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).
We treated 127 patients with doxorubicin via TACE. Inclusion criteria were: diagnosis of unresectable
OBJECTIVE
Combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CC) is a rare mixed cell type primary liver cancer with limited data to guide management. Transarterial radioembolization with yttrium-90 microspheres (RE) is an emerging treatment option for both hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic
BACKGROUND
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a rare cancer associated with a poor prognosis. Psychosocial challenges may negatively affect daily functioning and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The primary aim was to evaluate HRQOL, and to assess anxiety and depression in these
