RESUMEN
Resumen El colangiocarcinoma (CC) es el segundo tumor primario maligno más frecuente del hígado. La mayor incidencia se registra en Asia y su pronóstico es poco alentador. La resección quirúrgica del tumor es el único tratamiento potencialmente curativo. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los CC se diagnostican en estadios avanzados de la enfermedad y la recurrencia del tumor es común. Este trabajo pretende demostrar las características imagenológicas de los CC, su clasificación, así como también la evaluación preoperatoria por tomografía computada (TC) y resonancia magnética (RM) que el radiólogo debe realizar actualmente.
ABSTRACT
Abstract The cholangiocarcinoma (CC) is the second most common malignant primary tumor of the liver. The highest incidence is registered in Asia and its prognosis is not very encouraging. The surgical resection is the only potentially curative treatment, however most of the CCs are diagnosed in advanced stages and the tumor recurrence is frequently presented. The purpose of this study is to show the imagenologic characteristics of CC, its classification as well as the preoperative evaluation by Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance (MR) that the radiologist must perform currently.
