Imaging of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma – up to date

Kurzfassung: With advance of imaging modalities and its scanning technique, small sized cholangiocellular carcinoma (CCC) are often seen in clinical practices. Small sized CCCs are sometimes well-enhanced on early phase of dynamic CT/MRI, so they may mimic HCC, especially in the screening of HCC in cirrhotic patients. Interestingly small hypervascular CCCs sometimes share cholangiolocellular carcinoma (CoCC) features in pathologic evaluation. CoCC is a rare primary liver cancer which is thought to arise from stem cells located in canal of Hering or bile ductule. Thus CoCC is now classified into stem cell feature…
