Clinical question
A 36-year-old woman presented with postprandial abdominal pain. Radiological assessment showed an irregular endoluminal mass in intrahepatic bile ducts and a separate mass in liver segment 8. A liver biopsy was performed. In addition, medical history revealed two skin excisions of lesions on the left thigh (at 24 years of age), and in the left popliteal space (at 30 years of age). Family history revealed several grandparents who died of cancer at older age (specific types not fully clear). Review the high quality, interactive digital Aperio slide of the liver biopsy and the skin excision (popliteal space) at http://virtualacp.com/JCPCases/jclinpath-2019-206271.R2_1/ and http://virtualacp.com/JCPCases/jclinpath-2019-206271.R2/ and consider your diagnosis.
