ABSTRACT

Objectives: To know the desirable outcomes.; to weigh up the situation; and to explain the importance of early diagnosis. Case Presentation: We report a case of 70-year old patient diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma who developed complications and ended up with Multiple Organ Dysfunction System (MODS). Conclusion: Cholangiocarcinoma accounts for 10% of global mortality. Jaundice is the only presenting symptom in most patients. Therefore, patients presenting with jaundice and possessing risk factors for developing CCA should be rigorously screened for the presence of CCA. Serious complications of sepsis include end organ hypo perfusion, severe organ failure and death can be avoided by effective Early Goal Directed Therapies (EGDT).
