ABSTRACT
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is the second most common primary hepatobiliary malignancy and presents as three separate morphological subtypes; namely mass-forming, periductal-infiltrating, and intraductal-growing patterns. Each of these subtypes have distinct imaging characteristics, as well as a variety of benign and malignant mimics, making accurate diagnosis of CCA on imaging challenging. Whilst histopathological examination is required to arrive at a definitive diagnosis, it is still important for radiologists to be cognizant of these entities and provide reasonable differential diagnoses, as these potentially have a large impact on patient management. This pictorial essay illustrates the three morphological subtypes of CCA, as well as some important mimics for each subtype, that are encountered in clinical practice.
