AB  - Cholangiocarcinomas  arising  at  or  near  the  confluence  of  the  right  and  left  hepatic  ducts,  commonly  referred  to  as  Klatskin  tumors,  are  being  diagnosed  earlier  and  treated  more  promptly  by  palliative  or  curative  surgical  procedures.  These  may  be  termed  hepatic  duct  bifurcation  tumors  or  hilar  tumors.  The  majority  of  patients  exhibit  jaundice  of  increasing  intensity  and  many  have  had  recent  biliary  exploration,  where  the  diagnosis  was  suggested  by  operative  cholangiography.  There  is  a  wide  patient  age  range  and  occasionally  a  preceding  history  of  ulcerative  colitis  or  sclerosing  cholangitis.  Although  the  number  who  can  be  cured  is  limited,  many  patients  are  benefited  by  palliative  procedures.
