摘要
Cholangiocarcinoma (CC) is a malignancy of the biliary tract that commonly presents in the seventh decade of life, but is extremely rare in children. We report on a sporadic case of malignant CC in an 11-year-old female. Originally presenting with dyspnea, chest x-ray identified multiple pulmonary metastases, and various imaging modalities revealed diffuse disease spread throughout the liver and lungs. Following pathologic diagnosis of CC, aggressive treatment was initiated with a dramatic initial response to chemotherapy, however, as often occurs with advanced disease in adults, this patient ultimately succumbed to the disease.
