Overview
Diseases with similar symptoms
Cholangiocarcinoma must also be differentiated from other diseases that cause jaundice, abdominal pain, weight loss, and fatigue:
- Cholecystitis and choledochitis
- Liver fluke infections
Cholangiocarcinoma must be differentiated from other diseases such as:[1]
For an intrahepatic mass-forming cholangiocarcinoma consider:
- Liver metastases
- Central necrosis (high T2 signal) is more common
- Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
- Tumor thrombus more common
- Capsular retraction uncommon
- May appear very similar
- Other primary liver tumors
- Hepatic abscess
For a periductal infiltrating cholangiocarcinoma consider:
- Benign stricture
- Usually short-segment
- Regular margin
- Symmetric narrowing
- No ductal enhancement
- No lymph node enlargement
- No periductal soft-tissue mass
- Periportal lymphangitic metastasis
For an intraductal cholangiocarcinoma consider:
- Intraductal invasion by a HCC
- Extraductal mass
- Hepatolithiasis
- No enhancement
- Higher attenuation
- Biliary cystadenoma or cystadenocarcinoma
- Intratumoural cysts do not communicate with the biliary tree
- Benign stricture
Cholangiocarcinoma must be differentiated from other diseases that cause jaundice, abdominal pain, weight loss, and fatigue:
- Cholecystitis and choledochitis
- Liver fluke infections
