title: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma masked as fever of unknown origin.
abstract: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is a rare malignancy that often presents in an advanced stage. For many patients, early diagnosis is often delayed, secondary to vague symptoms and a lack of physical findings. Herein, we report an unusual case of fever of unknown origin secondary to intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
