Cholangiocarcinomas (CCA) are uncommon malignancies that present late and have a poor prognosis. The patients may remain undiagnosed for many years because of non-specific presentation. CCA metastasises commonly to liver and adjacent lymph nodes. It can rarely metastasise to bone, lung, colon, pancreas, adrenal glands and spleen. Multiple treatment options are available including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and photodynamic therapy. The tumours have high rate of recurrence and most patients require palliative care. Our patient is a middle-aged man who presented with pain in right ring finger, workup of which revealed digital metastasis from underlying cholangiocarcinoma.
胆管癌(CCA)是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤,出现较晚且预后较差。由于临床表现不具特异性,患者可能多年未被诊断出来。CCA通常转移至肝脏和邻近淋巴结,很少转移至骨骼、肺、结肠、胰腺、肾上腺和脾脏。有多种治疗选择,包括手术、化疗、放疗和光动力疗法。这些肿瘤复发率高,大多数患者需要姑息治疗。我们的患者是一名中年男性,因右手无名指疼痛就诊,检查发现是潜在胆管癌的指骨转移。
