AB Cholangiocarcinoma  is  a  diverse  group  of  rare  but  highly  fatal  malignancies  arising  from  the  biliary  tract  epithelium.  According  to  their  anatomical  origin  in  the  biliary  tract,  cholangiocarcinomas  can  be  subdivided  into  three  distinct  categories,  namely  intrahepatic,  perihilar,  and  distal  cholangiocarcinoma.  Besides  definitional  purposes,  considering  each  category  of  different  biologic  characteristics  and  clinical  course,  such  a  classification  is  useful  in  diagnostic  approach  and  clinical  management.
