Özet
Due to the late onset of symptoms, Klatskin tumors or hilar cholangiocarcinoma are usually diagnosed late and long-term life expectancy is very low. In this case, an 83-year-old female patient with diagnosis of obesity and depression was admitted to Family Medicine Outpatient Clinic in Duzce University Medical Faculty because of abdominal pain and nausea ongoing for two days. In hepatobiliary ultrasound examination made in Family Medicine Clinic, gallbladder diameter was 50 mm and bile duct was seen distended to 14 mm. With these findings the patient was assessed by Infectious Diseases and Gastroenterology Clinic. She was directed outside the province for an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). After ERCP clinical situation is further aggravated by developed bacteremia. Due to the late onset of symptoms of the disease, as in our case, and developing bacteremic infections, the disease has resulted in a rapid mortality. In this case, it has been evaluated that table of bacteremic infection superimposed invasive medical procedures resulted to severe prognosis and increases the mortality in elderly patient with Klatskin tumor.
