description Advanced biliary tract carcinoma (ABC) tends to have a poor prognosis, with trials done having limited data from oncologists' perspectives.

Herein, we present a case of a 67-year-old man who got diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma, which initially masqueraded as liver abscess and was associated with severe hypercalcemia, pyrexia, jaundice, and submassive pulmonary embolism.
