RIDRUEJO SAEZ, R. e JIMENEZ BARTOLOME, B.. Infected cholangiocarcinoma. An. Med. Interna (Madrid) [online]. 2006, vol.23, n.7, pp.335-337. ISSN 0212-7199.
Cholangiocarcinomas are malignancies of the biliary duct system. They are encountered in 3 geographic regions: intrahepatic, proximal extrahepatic, and distal extrahepatic. The etiology of most bile duct cancers remains undetermined but some risk factors, like gallstone, have been suggested to play a role by inducing malignant transformation. The prognosis and clinical manifestations depend on the anatomical location and clinical presentation may be confuses or by means of complications like sepsis. We present a case of cholangiocarcinoma which made debut with cholestasis and sepsis in a cholecystectomiced pacient, who had a long standing lithiasic cholecystitis.
