Abstract:
A 32-year-old pregnant woman underwent laparotomy for suspected intra-abdominal mass lesion obstructing the biliary tree. Imaging studies revealed a mass in the fourth segment of the liver. Microscopic examination of the biopsy revealed a cholangiocarcinoma. The clinical course of the malignancy was worsened by her gravid state.
