Abstract

AbstractFulminant hepatic failure as initial presentation due to diffuse parenchymal infiltration by cholangiocarcinoma is a rare entity. We present the case of a 49-year-old female patient who had a fatal outcome with acute liver failure due to diffuse intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. No definite mass lesion was identified on cross-sectional imaging. The final diagnosis was made on transjugular liver biopsy. This discussion highlights the possibility of infiltrative cholangiocarcinoma as a rare cause of fulminant hepatic failure.
