Obstructive jaundice has many common etiologies, which might cause us to overlook diagnoses that are far worse. This is a case of a Hispanic male who presented with jaundice and worsening liver function. During his hospitalization, he was erroneously diagnosed before being diagnosed with gastric cancer. Even though biliary obstruction has many common etiologies, there are cases that can't be explained, which warrants further investigation such as malignant etiologies.
梗阻性黄疸有许多常见病因,这可能导致我们忽略一些更为严重的诊断。这是一例西班牙裔男性患者,表现为黄疸和肝功能恶化。在他住院期间,他在被诊断为胃癌之前被误诊。尽管胆道梗阻有许多常见病因,但仍有一些病例无法解释,这就需要进一步调查,如恶性病因。
