Unusual presentation of cholangiocarcinoma.
A patient who presented with dysphagia was found to have a cholangiocarcinoma, with metastases in the para-oesophageal lymph nodes. Although dysphagia has been described as a presenting feature of some metastatic carcinomas, to the authors' knowledge, there have been no reports of it as a presenting symptom of a cholangiocarcinoma.
