A
- liver flukes
- heaptolithiasiss, recurrent pyogenic cholangitis
- PSC

- HBV, HCV
- Caroli disease
14
Q
A
Mass-forming cholangiocarcinomas:
- are typically homogeneously low in attenuation on noncontrast scans, and demonstrate heterogeneous minor peripheral enhancement with gradual centripetal enhancement .
- progressive enhancement (degree of enhancement depends on amount of fibrosis)
- capsular retraction may be evident. The bile ducts distal to the mass are typically dilated.
Although narrowing of the portal veins - or less frequently, hepatic veins - is seen, unlike HCC, cholangiocarcinoma only rarely forms a tumor thrombus
Lobar or segmental hepatic atrophy is usually associated with vascular invasion
