RESUMO
We present the case of a 76-year-old male with a history of acute cholecystitis who underwent a scheduled laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Chronic cholecystitis with a thickened cystic duct was observed intraoperatively. The anatomic pathology report found high-grade dysplasia that affected the distal edge of the cystic duct. In view of these findings, an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was performed with SpyGlass® and an excrescent lesion suggestive of malignancy adjacent to the cystic-common bile duct junction was observed. A resection of the extrahepatic bile duct was performed with lymphadenectomy of the hepatic hilum and hepaticojejunostomy in a subsequent procedure. The definitive pathology report confirmed pancreaticobiliary intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasia with high-grade dysplasia and free margins.

Liver failure (LF) is a severe entity, which represents a diagnostic challenge for clinicians. Knowing the etiology of liver aggression is key for its management. We present a rare case of cholestatic LF secondary to primary AL (kappa-light chain) amyloidosis as a presentation associated to multiple myeloma.
