Extrahepatic biliary obstruction secondary to metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: An unusual presentation of Courvoisier's law

Although esophageal squamous carcinoma is known to spread to celiac nodes, there is no description in the literature with it presenting and mimicking the above findings in Courvoisier's Law.
