MSH6 germline mutations leading to Lynch syndrome-associated cholangiocarcinoma: a case report.

Lynch syndrome, a hereditary cancer susceptibility syndrome, arises from pathogenic mutations in mismatch repair genes. This syndrome is strongly linked to colorectal and endometrial cancers, as well as an elevated risk for other cancers such as gastric, ovarian, renal pelvis/ureter, and prostate. Notably, Lynch syndrome is rarely associated with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).
