Klatskin tumours are the most prevalent type of cholangiocarcinoma. They are perihilar tumours that are frequently discovered near left and right junction of hepatic ducts. The absence of early symptoms leads to the detection of most Klatskin tumours at an advanced, incurable stage. Despite developing adjuvant therapy regimens, survival results remain low. Surgery is now the gold standard of care and the only curative therapeutic option available. In this paper, we describe our experience with an asymptomatic patient with increased liver enzymes who was discovered to have a Klatskin tumour spreading into the left hepatic duct. The patient's diagnosis, care, and prognosis are reviewed. The example emphasises the significance of screening for hepatobiliary malignancies in older individuals with abnormal liver function parameters who are handled surgically.
