Histopathology Extrahepatic bile ducts, common bile duct--Ad

[Allibaby78]

More than 90% of cholangiocarcinomas are ductal adenocarcinomas and the remainder are squamous cell tumours.

[Allibaby78]

Cholangiocarcinoma is a carcinoma arising in any part of the biliary tree from the small intrahepatic bile ducts to the ampulla of Vater at the distal end of the common bile duct.

Most commonly they occur in the perihilar region (classical Klatskin tumour) near the bifurcation of right and left hepatic ducts.

Tumours occurring between the upper border of the pancreas and ampulla of Vater are the next most common and are classified as distal extrahepatic tumours.

wow this is a very nasty looking cancer, I saw alot of dark and irregular shaped cells. was this cancer metastatic? it looks like it certainly could have the potential to go metastatic the way it looked there.

what are the symptoms? and can the bile ducts be changed via endoscopy? After a liver tranplant this can happen and what are the solutions? Can a transplant liver gone pathological can be cut to get rid of bad areas of such liver? thanks

@butifarra61

one of the symptoms is jaundice (yellow colour to the skin and whites of eyes!)
