Schematic diagram for sites of cholangiocarcinoma. Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (International Classification of Disease-9 codes (ICD-9) 155.1): 1=peripheral cholangiocarcinoma; 2a, b=right and left hepatic ducts; and 3=confluence of right and left hepatic ducts (perihilar, Klatskin tumours). Extrahepatic (ICD-9 156): 4=common hepatic duct; 5=gall bladder (ICD-9 156.0); 6=cystic duct; and 7=common bile duct.

Management algorithm for cholangiocarcinoma. US, ultrasonography; MRCP, MR cholangiopancreatography; MRA, MR angiography; ERCP, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography; PTC, percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography. *Where magnetic resonance imaging/MRCP is not possible, patients should have contrast enhanced spiral/helical computed tomography. **Fine needle biopsy or biopsy is ideally avoided until resectability has been assessed by a specialist surgeon.
