ABSTRACT
The only curative treatment option for cholangiocarcinoma is surgery, making the assessment of operability a crucial step in the diagnosis. We report a case of distal common bile duct cancer in a 64-year-old male, who exhibited multiple pulmonary nodules in pre-operative chest imaging following a COVID-19 infection. As the local progression of disease was not prominent, the possibility of pulmonary metastasis was considered unlikely. A surgical biopsy was performed, which confirmed the diagnosis of pulmonary cryptococcosis.
