RESUMO
We describe a 67-year-old woman with cholangiocarcinoma who was scheduled for cholecystectomy, trisegmentectomy, bile duct resection, and regional lymphadenectomy. Her case was complicated by hyperlactatemia, sepsis, and multiorgan failure. The discussion reviews the possible causes of the hyperlactatemia and reviews measures that could be used to reduce this risk.
