CT and Mri In Mass Forming Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma : Key Imaging Findings For Early Diagnosis

Intrahepatic mass forming cholangiocarcinoma is the second most common primary hepatic tumour worldwide which accounts for approximately 5%-10% of all cholangiocarcinoma and accounts for approximately 10% to 20% of all primary liver cancers. The incidence ranges from 0.3-6 per 1,00,000 inhabitants per year. The arterial enhancement pattern at CT, MRI along with CA 19-9 levels and tumour size may be useful prognostic markers in the preoperative evaluation of patients with resectable intrahepatic mass forming cholangiocarcinoma.
