Classification of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

Cholangiocarcinoma is a heterogenous malignancy with various classifications based on location, morphological features, histological features, and actionable genetic mutations. Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), which arises in and proximal to second order bile ducts, is the second most common primary liver malignancy after hepatocellular carcinoma. In this review, we will discuss ICC risk factors, precursor lesions, various growth, anatomic, morphologic, and histologic classifications, rare variants, and differential diagnoses.
