Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), a type of liver cancer, is increasing in incidence and mortality. This review covers CCA histopathology, differential diagnoses, and diagnostic challenges for this deadly biliary tract cancer.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary pathology
  • Gastrointestinal oncology
  • Cancer diagnostics

Background:

  • Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is the second most common primary liver cancer, following hepatocellular carcinoma.
  • CCA incidence and mortality rates are rising globally, with most cases diagnosed at advanced stages.
  • Limited therapeutic options exist for advanced CCA, underscoring the need for accurate diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the histopathology of cholangiocarcinoma.
  • To discuss the differential diagnoses of CCA.
  • To highlight diagnostic pitfalls in CCA identification.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on CCA histopathology.
  • Analysis of diagnostic criteria for CCA subtypes.
Keywords:

  • Comparison of CCA with other liver and biliary tract pathologies.

    • Main Results:

    • CCA classification based on anatomical origin (intrahepatic, perihilar, distal) correlates with distinct features.
    • Histopathological features aid in differentiating CCA from other malignancies.
    • Accurate diagnosis is challenged by overlapping features and sampling errors.

    Conclusions:

    • Understanding CCA histopathology and its variations is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
    • Awareness of diagnostic pitfalls can improve patient management.
    • Further research into early diagnostic markers for CCA is warranted.
