Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Neoplasia
  • Oncology
  • Gastroenterology

Context:

  • Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a rare but challenging biliary tract cancer.
  • Insidious clinical manifestations complicate early diagnosis.
  • Associated with hepatic tumors and various acquired/congenital factors.

Purpose:

  • To review the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of cholangiocarcinoma.
  • To highlight the role of immunohistochemistry and advanced imaging in diagnosis.
  • To discuss current and potential treatment strategies.

Summary:

  • Adenocarcinoma is the most frequent histological type, often localized in the choledochal duct.
  • Clinical findings include jaundice, weight loss, and hepatomegaly.
  • Immunohistochemistry aids differential diagnosis and understanding cell biology.
