Abstract

Sarcomatoid intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (S-iCCA) is a rare histological variant of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA). The diagnosis of S-iCCA is based on histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations, and S-iCCA often has a poorer prognosis than that of ordinary iCCA. In this article, we present the case of a 64-year-old man with S-iCCA who presented with intermittent right upper abdominal pain. The aim of this case report and literature review is to strengthen the understanding of S-iCCA among clinicians and reduce the incidence of missed clinical diagnoses.
