Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas were classified into two types based on their microscopic appearance. Tumors with histologic similarities to hilar cholangiocarcinomas (predominantly ductal ...

Cholangiocarcinomas are tumors that arise in the bile ducts — tubes connecting the liver to the small intestine that carry bile, a fluid that helps digest fats and excrete wastes. Diagnosed in over ...

Cholangiocarcinomas are malignant tumors that derive from cholangiocytes of small intrahepatic bile ducts or bile ductules (intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma; ICC), or of large hilar or extrahepatic ...

The cholangiocarcinomas that had their epicenter only within the hepatic parenchyma were included, whereas carcinomas of the hilar or perihilar bile ducts (Klatskin tumors) and carcinomas of the ...

Cholangiocarcinomas that occur in the small bile ducts within the liver are termed “intrahepatic.” Those that arise in the bile ducts but outside the liver are “extrahepatic.” In some cases, these ...

Grossly, the liver involved by cholangiocarcinoma is usually enlarged, partly because of the tumor itself and partly because of hydrohepatosis (enlargement of the liver due to fluid retention ...

The progenitor cell marker Nestin may be a meaningful diagnostic tool for combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CCA) and may help identify a subset of patients with a poor prognosis ...

Distal cholangiocarcinomas are rare, but clinicians can use a variety of imaging to diagnose it. A new case report of a patient with distal cholangiocarcinoma highlights how imaging and ...

Comprehensive molecular profiling and analysis of mutual exclusivity of genetic aberrations (MEGA) of intra- and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas (IHC and EHC) evaluation of prognostic features and ...
