Also known as cholangiocarcinoma, this is an adenocarcinoma that develops in the ductal system responsible for transporting bile from the liver to the small intestine.

Malignancy originating in the hepatocytes or bile ducts of the liver; it disrupts vital metabolic functions, including toxin filtration and the production of proteins necessary for blood clotting.

A secondary malignancy where cancer cells from primary sites (like the colon or ovaries) seed and proliferate across the peritoneum, the serous membrane lining the abdominal cavity.

A common complication in advanced abdominal cancers where tumor growth physically occludes the small or large intestine, preventing the normal passage of gastrointestinal contents.

A rare clinical syndrome, typically originating from an appendiceal neoplasm, characterized by the progressive accumulation of mucinous fluid (mucin) throughout the abdominal space.

The pathological accumulation of protein-rich fluid within the peritoneal cavity, triggered by the presence of malignant cells that increase vascular permeability and obstruct lymphatic drainage.
