Spindle cell carcinoma is a rare tumor that generally occurs in the upper digestive tract. We report an 81-year-old man with spindle cell carcinoma located in the extrahepatic bile ducts, resulting in obstructive jaundice. The patient died 10 months after operation due to local recurrence. The literature on this rare disease is reviewed and discussed.
