The cholangiocarcinoma (CC) is the second most common malignant primary tumor of the liver. The highest incidence is registered in Asia and its prognosis is not very encouraging. The surgical resection is the only potentially curative treatment, however most of the CCs are diagnosed in advanced stages and the tumor recurrence is frequently presented. The purpose of this study is to show the imagenologic characteristics of CC, its classification as well as the preoperative evaluation by Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance (MR) that the radiologist must perform currently.

Keywords : cholangiocarcinoma; classification; Klatskin tumor.
