Abstract
During the course of their disease, many patients with cancer may require urgent care related to hepatobiliary disease. Cross-sectional imaging of these patients is usually performed initially, and the radiologist plays a pivotal role in the initial diagnosis. In this article, we discuss the commonly seen hepatobiliary oncologic emergencies, briefly review imaging diagnosis, and discuss in detail the management options for these conditions. The radiologist's awareness and prompt diagnosis aid in formulating a management plan to decrease morbidity and mortality in these potentially lethal conditions.
