Cholangiocarcinoma is a malignant tumor originated in the epithelium of the intra or extra hepatic biliary ducts. Pain in the right hypochondrium, jaundice and low weight are the main clinical features. Currently, the diagnosis has been facilitated by the availability of different imaging and endoscopic procedures. The authors presented a case diagnosed with this kind of tumor. The patient underwent surgical, endoscopic and oncologic treatment with gemcitabine, cisplatine and oxaliplatine. He was followed up by a multidisciplinary team and evolved with five-year survival.
