Clinicopathological Conference CPC #1 September 8, 2009
Patient • 62 year old male • DM II • COPD • Chronic Hepatitis B with mild fibrosis • U/S 4 months ago no mass • HTN • Active Smoker
HPI • 4 weeks fatigue • 10/10 RUQ pain – radiated to the back • Jaundice • Light/clay colored stools • Nausea • Dark urine
At Risk • Hepatoma (3-4% risk per year) – Hepatitis B • Severe Infection – DM, COPD and Cirrhosis • FHF with appropriate trigger • Cancer risk – prostate, colorectal, lung
Extrahepatic • Malignant • Cholangiocarcinoma • Pancreatic cancer • Gallbladder cancer • Ampullary cancer • Malignant involvement of the portahepatis lymph nodes • Hepatoma • Benign • Choledocholithiasis • Primary sclerosingcholangitis • Chronic pancreatitis • AIDS cholangiopathy • Stricture (benign)
Differential Diagnosis • Hepatocellular Carcinoma • Correct Host • Fibrolamellar variant (nl AFP) • Pulmonary lesions • Cholangiocarcinoma • Ductal dilatation • Elevated CA 19-9
Key points • Non-enhancing lesion on CT scan • Normal ultrasound 4 months ago • Normal AFP
Cholangiocarcinoma • Adnocarcinoma of the epithelial cells of the biliary tract • 2-3,000 cases per year • Associated with primary sclerosing choangitis and chronic inflammation • Risk factors – parasitic liver infection (liver flukes) • Congenital liver abnormalities
Diagnosis • Metastatic cholangiocarcinoma triggering fulminant hepatic failure in a patient with ETOH/Hep B cirrhosis
