The COVID-19 pandemic brought into prominence several emergent medical and surgical entities, but, also, it served as trigger contributor for numerous apparently unrelated ailments such arterial venous thromboembolic complications. Additional risk factors these thrombotic traits may be concurrent (known or unknown) malignancies, including at hepatic level. Among these, cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), a rare cancer of intra- extra-hepatic biliary ducts, represents very aggressive condition that typically associates local distant advanced stages on first presentation requiring prompt diagnosis stratified management. This neoplasia has been reported to present large spectrum paraneoplastic syndromes in terms dermatologic, renal, systemic, neurologic, endocrine, cardiovascular settings, that, overall, are exceptional their epidemiologic impact when compared other cancers. Our aim was introduce most unusual case CCA-associated thrombosis male adult who initially considered experience COVID-19-related features while having history obesity bariatric surgery. is hybrid type paper: this clinical vignette accompanied by two distinct sample-focused analyses basis discussion; they each had different methods depending current level statistical evidence. We only included English-published articles PubMed, follows: Firstly, we conducted search reports similar the case, regarding vein CCA, from inception until time. performed literature using keywords “cholangiocarcinoma”, “thrombosis”, “Trousseau’s syndrome” identified 20 cases across 19 original papers; hence, evidence remains low Secondly, searched highest concerning thrombosis/thromboembolism patients underwent infection (key were “COVID-19”, alternatively, “coronavirus”, “SARS-CoV-2”, “thromboembolism”) recent systematic reviews meta-analyses published 2024 (from 1 January 8 July 2024). After excluding data vaccination against coronavirus long syndrome, six articles. To conclude, presented probably unique malignancy with an initial manifestation consisting recurrent superficial under anticoagulation therapy, no gastrointestinal manifestations, patient notable multiple episodes SARS-CoV-2 prior endocrine (gastric) our knowledge, identification CCA specific circumstances.
