    Hepatocellular carcinoma, a primary liver cancer, can unusually obstruct bile ducts, causing obstructive jaundice. This case highlights a rare presentation of liver cancer leading to bile duct obstruction.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Oncology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a primary malignant tumor of the liver.
    • Obstructive jaundice typically results from gallstones or pancreatic cancer.
    • Bile duct obstruction by HCC is an uncommon clinical presentation.

    Observation:

    • A 67-year-old male patient exhibited symptoms indicative of obstructive jaundice.
    • Autopsy revealed hepatocellular carcinoma as the cause of the obstruction.
    • The tumor obstructed both the hepatic ducts and the common hepatic duct.

    Findings:

    • The hepatocellular carcinoma presented as a rare cause of biliary obstruction.
    • The anatomical location of the tumor led to blockage of the main bile drainage pathways.

  • This case underscores the diverse clinical manifestations of advanced HCC.

    • Implications:

    • Recognizing this rare presentation of HCC is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.
    • Further research may elucidate the mechanisms behind HCC's ability to cause biliary obstruction.
    • This finding emphasizes the importance of considering primary liver cancer in the differential diagnosis of obstructive jaundice.
