Abstract
Hilarcholangiocarcinoma is a kind of bile duct cancer that develops in the bile ducts that exit the liver and connect to the gallbladder (hepatic ducts). Cholangiocarcinoma develops when the DNA of cells in the bile ducts changes. We present here a case of hilarcholangiocarcinoma associated with whipworms. The patient was admitted with chief complaints of pruritus, painless progressive jaundice, weight loss and loss of appetite for 3 weeks. Lab values, serology reports, USG scanning, MRCP and biopsy was suggestive of hilarcholangiocarcinoma and whipworms. The patient was given anthelminthic therapy for whipworms and sent to medical college for the tratment of carcinoma.
