Cholangiocarcinoma patients generally have abdominal discomfort of progressive jaundice, loss of appetite, weight loss, pruritus and so on. If combined with gallstones and biliary tract infection, there may be chills, fever, and paroxysmal abdominal pain and occult pain. If located in one side of the hepatic duct cancer, often asymptomatic at the beginning, when the impact to the opposite side of the hepatic duct opening, only obstructive jaundice.

Abdominal pain in patients with cholangiocarcinoma is mainly manifested as mild discomfort in the upper abdomen after eating, or hidden pain under the xiphoid process, or back pain, or right upper abdominal colic, which is the manifestation of nerve invasion. It can appear before or after jaundice.
