The development of hepatobiliary cancer in a carrier of Salmonella typhus.
A case of Salmonella enteritis which resulted in a chronic typhoid carrier state is reported. The recurrent cholangitis progressed to sclerosing cholangitis, with subsequent development of cholangiocarcinoma. Although epidemiological studies demonstrate an increased risk of developing hepatobiliary cancer in chronic typhoid carriers, a documented case has never been reported.
