Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a biliary epithelial cancer conferring a grim prognosis. Metastatic recurrence of CCA is often discovered because of symptoms stemming from the site of metastasis. It is rarely reported that colonic obstruction serves as the presenting symptom of disease recurrence. We report the unusual discovery of malignant colonic obstruction because of metastatic CCA. Our report highlights the benefit of minimally invasive colonic stenting for palliation yielding immediate relief of pain while avoiding untoward sequelae from high-risk surgical intervention.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers occurring globally. Surgery for CRC often extends hospital stays due to complications, as patients must meet nutritional needs and regain mobility before discharge. Longer hospital stays, required for extended monitoring and care, can increase the risk of further complications, creating a cycle where extended stays lead to more issues.

Sevelamer is a non-absorbable polymer used to treat hyperphosphatemia in individuals with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis. The deposition of sevelamer crystals in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, especially in the colon, can cause mucosal inflammation, pseudopolyps, ulceration, ischemia, or necrosis. Owing to its rarity and lack of physician awareness, the actual incidence and prevalence of sevelamer-induced gastrointestinal mucosal injury (SIGMI) remain unknown.

Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA) is a condition characterized by intravascular fragmentation of red blood cells, leading to the characteristic finding of schistocytes on a peripheral blood smear. The differential diagnoses of MAHA include thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), infections, malignancies, and solid organ transplantation. The commonly associated malignancies with MAHA are gastric, breast, prostate, lung, and lymphoma.
