Key Points

To highlight the management of suspected Epstein-Barr Virus-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in a cholangiocarcinoma patient after targeted therapies.
Presented a case study of a patient with cholangiocarcinoma and suspected EBV-associated HLH
Sequential therapy included immune checkpoint inhibitors and BRAF/MEK inhibitors
Emphasized the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for urgent diagnosis and management.
Successful identification of HLH in the context of ICI therapy
Prompt multidisciplinary management led to improved outcomes for the patient
Highlighting the need for heightened awareness of HLH in patients receiving similar cancer therapies.

Abstract

We report a rare case of cholangiocarcinoma with suspected EBV-associated HLH that developed after sequential therapy with an ICI and BRAF/MEK inhibitors. Clinicians should consider HLH as a differential diagnosis in patients with a history of ICI therapy who present with severe unexplained inflammation or shock. Prompt diagnosis and multidisciplinary management are crucial to prevent death.
