Abstract

Incidental intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (i-ICCA) is an uncommonly encountered malignancy in an explant liver. The presence of i-ICCA in an explant liver indicates poor prognosis and high chances of recurrence. Therefore, histopathological diagnosis of i-ICCA in an explant liver specimen is crucial for the patient. In this case report, we present a case of i-ICCA diagnosed in an explant liver showing features of alcoholic cirrhosis with a brief discussion on its salient features and relevant differential diagnoses.
