A 66-year-old breast ductal carcinoma patient developed obstructive jaundice, presenting with epigastric discomfort and dark-colored urine. Computed tomography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography revealed bile duct stenosis. Brushing cytology and tissue biopsy confirmed bile duct metastasis, a self-expandable metallic stent was placed/replaced endoscopically, and chemotherapy was continued, extending the patient's life.
