Abstract

HighlightsObstructive jaundice due to tumor thrombus in the common bile duct with HCC is classified as icteric-type HCC.Biliary drainage for patients with icteric-type HCC is sometimes difficult.A staged approach with initial tumor thrombectomy followed by hepatectomy should be considered as one of the options for icteric-type HCC.
