Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2008 Nov;20(11):1115-7. doi: 10.1097/MEG.0b013e3282f4de7e.

Abstract

Malignancy is a well-known complication of immunosuppression in solid organ transplant recipients. Few case reports have described an association between cystic fibrosis and biliary tract neoplasms. We describe a rare case of cholangiocarcinoma after lung transplantation in a patient with cystic fibrosis.
