Abstract
A young woman was seen at 26 weeks' gestation with a clinical profile consistent with the HELLP syndrome (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count). The patient underwent cesarean delivery and was found to have a massive tumor involving the liver. After correction of the coagulopathy, a liver biopsy specimen demonstrated an intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The patient died 3 weeks after diagnosis.
