Abstract

Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare tumor among all populations of the world and accounts for less than 2% of cancers found at autopsy and between 10% and 20% of all primary liver cancers.

Included in the latter are the small intraduct carcinomas arising at the bifurcation of the hepatic ducts. (continue...)
