Overview
The epithelial cell lining the bile ducts are called cholangiocytes. The malignant transformsation of cholangiocytes leads to cholangiocarcinoma. Malignant transformation of cholangiocytes into cholangiocarcinoma include hyperplasia, metaplasia and dysplasia. Biliary intraepithelial neoplasia is believed to be the initial lesion of cholangiocarcinoma, particularly in patients with hepatolithiasis in bile ducts. Gross pathologic features characteristic to intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma are divided in three subtypes and include mass forming type, periductal infiltrating type, and intraductal growth type. On microscopic pathology, characteristic findings of cholangiocarcinoma include cuboidal or columnar mucin producing cells and dense fibrous (desmoplastic) stroma.
Pathophysiology
Pathogenesis
- The epithelial cell lining the bile ducts are called cholangiocytes. The malignant transformsation of cholangiocytes leads to cholangiocarcinoma.[1]
- Malignant transformation of cholangiocytes into cholangiocarcinoma include following stages:[2]
- Hyperplasia
- Metaplasia
- Dysplasia
- Frank carcinoma
- Progression of malignancy is believed to be due to:[2][3][4]
- Inflammation
- Obstruction of bile ducts
- Biliary intraepithelia neoplasia
- Biliary intraepithelial neoplasia is believed to be the initial lesion of cholangiocarcinoma, particularly in patients with hepatolithiasis in bile ducts.

Gross Pathology
Gross pathologic features characteristic to intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma are divided in three subtypes and include:[8][9][10]
- Mass-forming type
- Nodular lesion or mass in the hepatic parenchyma
- Gray to gray-white, firm and solid carcinoma
- Periductal infiltrating type
- Spreading of the carcinoma along the portal tracts with stricture of the affected bile ducts
- Dilatation of the peripheral bile ducts
- Intraductal growth type
