“…11 Dyssynchronous presentations include cases of metastatic recurrence to the colon 5-6 years after primary cancer resection. 2,9,10 Although the symptomatic profile of CCA metastasis varies by location of metastasis, hematochezia has been infrequently mentioned. In one case, hematochezia was ultimately attributed to ulcerative friability of colonic metastases.…”

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a biliary epithelial cancer conferring a grim prognosis. Metastatic recurrence of CCA is often discovered because of symptoms stemming from the site of metastasis. It is rarely reported that colonic obstruction serves as the presenting symptom of disease recurrence. We report the unusual discovery of malignant colonic obstruction because of metastatic CCA. Our report highlights the benefit of minimally invasive colonic stenting for palliation yielding immediate relief of pain while avoiding untoward sequelae from high-risk surgical intervention.
