A 38 years female presented with three episodes of venous thrombosis over one year--first in left femoral vein, next in splenic vein causing haematemesis and malena and lastly in inferior vena cava causing Budd-Chiari syndrome. During third episode, endoscopic cholangiopancreatography and guided biopsy established a diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma at the mid portion of common bile duct. The disease was far advanced with cervical lymph node metastasis.
