Abstract

Cholangiocarcinoma is the second most common hepatobiliary malignancy. Histopathologically, it usually appears as a differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma. It shows a strong tendency toward early regional spread. Cutaneous metastases of cholangiocarcinoma are rare although distant hematogenous metastases may be observed during the late stages. We report a case of cutaneous metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma, presenting as a solitary asymptomatic firm nodule on right upper lip.
