Adenocarcinomas of the distal bile duct are traditionally classified as either pancreatobiliary or intestinal type, with pancreatic adenocarcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma included within the former classification. Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare and deadly malignancy that occurs within three clinically defined regions: intrahepatic, perihilar, and in the distal bile duct. We present a 68-year-old male with a past medical history of human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia who presented to the emergency department with a 3-week history of diarrhea, diffuse abdominal pain, malaise, and nausea. Contrast enhanced CT of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a periampullary mass. Endoscopic ultrasound biopsy was performed, with histopathology suggestive of distal cholangiocarcinoma. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was utilized for palliative stent placement until patient received pancreaticoduodenectomy (ie, Whipple procedure). In this case, we highlight the imaging presentation and histopathology of a distal cholangiocarcinoma. |
