Abstract:
Cholangiocarcinoma is one of the most lethal tumors because of its complex location and lack of good chemoradiotherapy options. When it is diagnosed, urgent intervention is needed, often involving radical surgical resection. It generally presents as a liver mass with biliary obstruction. We discuss the case of a young patient presenting with liver dysfunction and imaging mimicking a liver mass concerning for cholangiocarcinoma, where he actually had a liver infarct from splanchnic venous thrombosis from primary myelofibrosis.
