Popis:	Local recurrence of cholangiocarcinoma at resection margins following surgery remains notoriously difficult to be distinguished (clinically and radiologically) from a benign anastomotic stricture. We report the case of a 65-year-old gentleman who presented with fluctuating obstructive jaundice 4 years following his extended right hepatectomy for a hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Although a whole body combined computed tomography–positron emission tomography (PET–CT) suggested no evidence of recurrent disease this was found and confirmed histologically during revision of his hepatico-jejunostomy. This emphasizes the potential false negative rate of PET–CT scanning in the assessment of recurrent cholangiocarcinoma.
