ABSTRACT
Obstructive jaundice has many common etiologies, which might cause us to overlook diagnoses that are far worse. This is a case of a Hispanic male who presented with jaundice and worsening liver function. During his hospitalization, he was erroneously diagnosed before being diagnosed with gastric cancer. Even though biliary obstruction has many common etiologies, there are cases that can't be explained, which warrants further investigation such as malignant etiologies.
