Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Masquerading as Liver Abscess: A Case Report With Multimodal Imaging

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The presentation of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) often masquerades as a pyogenic liver abscess. Therefore, atypical imaging features on multimodal studies, together with markedly elevated levels of Gamma-glutamyl Transpeptidase (GGT), Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) and Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), must alert clinicians to the possibility of underlying malignancy to prevent diagnostic delay.
