Cholangiocarcinomas are relatively rare tumors, even that in recent years it was observed a worldwide increase of its incidence. Approximately between 60-70% of cholangiocarcinomas arise from the hilus of the liver, between 20 to 30 % in the extrahepatic biliary tree, and 5 to 10 % are intrahepatic. The hilar cholangiocarcinoma was first described by Gerard Klatskin in 1965, and that is the reason for which it is termed in such eay. The prognosis is usually discouraging. The authors comment the clinical features, etiologic, factors, diagnosis and treatment. The role of staging laparoscopy in this malignancy is described laparoscopy is a powerful diagnostic tool in patients with intrahepatic carcinoma. Staging, resectability and outcome of patients with irresecable tumors, but at present, this therapy is reserved for selected patients and in very specialized centers.
