Klatskin tumor presented with melena and jaundice: interesting case with hemobilia

Hemobilia bleeding into the biliary tree is an unusual cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Generally, etiologies of hemobilia are iatrogenic or traumatic in origin. Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare gastrointestinal tumor that can become evident with hemobilia. We present a 77-year-old female with a history of warfarin use, who suffered from a protracted course of melena and jaundice.
