Abstract

Abstract:

Lymphoepithelioma-like cholangiocarcinoma (LEL-CC) is an intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with a prominent lymphoid infiltrate. According to previous reports, most LEL-CCs are a single lesion with a notably better prognosis compared to typical liver cancers. However, most literature reported pathological features and lacked imaging features, especially that of ultrasound. We report on a 74-year-old female with LEL-CC presented with headache and malaise for six months. We performed superficial ultrasonography, abdominal ultrasonography, hepatic contrast-enhanced ultrasound, positron emission tomography-computed tomography, and ultrasound-guided biopsy. We definitively diagnosed LEL-CC with multiple metastases in the liver, skeleton, and lymph nodes.

Key words: Ultrasonography; Contrast-enhanced imaging; Cholangiocarcinoma; Liver; Metastasis
