Sarcomatoid Cholangiocarcinoma: An Unusual Tumor Posing Diagnostic Challenges
Abstract
Sarcomatoid intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is an uncommon tumor that accounts for fewer than 1% of hepatobiliary system cancers. Frequently exhibits weight loss, fever, and stomach pain. This case study describes a 72-year-old woman who had been experiencing nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain for the previous 2 months. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of sarcomatoid cholangiocarcinoma.
