Abstract

Spontaneous rupture of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is rare due to its abundant fibrous stroma. We report our experience in a case of spontaneous rupture of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in a pregnant patient. In our case, multiple hepatic masses with intratumoral hemorrhage were noted on post-delivery computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging and they caused hemoperitoneum. A right hemi-hepatectomy was carried out to control the bleeding and the diagnosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with metastasis was performed.
