MRI revealed extensive bone marrow oedema
Elevated serum CA 19-9 levels prompted further investigation
Identification of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with acetabular metastasis
Emphasis on the necessity of advanced imaging for persistent, unexplained bone pain
Illustration of how bone lesions can be missed on standard imaging
