RESUMO
Cholangiocarcinomas are malignant tumors arising from the bile ducts. One of the factors associated with the development of malignancy is parasitic infections by helminths trematodes that cause liver fluke infections. This association is very common in south-east Asia, but association with liver hydatidosis has not been reported in the scientific literature. We report a case in which these two diseases were associated and required non-radical surgical treatment, since radiological findings were not suspicious for these entities.

Los colangiocarcinomas son tumores malignos que se originan en los conductos biliares. Uno de los factores asociados al desarrollo neoplásico es las infecciones parasitarias por helmintos trematodos que causan una inflamación crónica de esos conductos. Esta relación es muy común en el sudeste asiático, pero en la literatura científica no se los ha relacionado con la hidatidosis hepática. Nosotros presentamos un caso clínico en el que estas dos entidades se presentan juntas y motivaron un tratamiento quirúrgico no radical, dado que no se sospechó en el estudio radiológico (AU)
