Abstract

We report one case of unrecognized primary liver tumor revealed by intra biliary system migration of free floating debris and hemobilia. A 64-year-old man presented an isolated jaundice. Ultrasound, computed tomography and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography are suggestive a cholangiocarcinoma. Operative intervention demonstrated hepatocellular emboli to common bile duct causing obstruction.
