		ERCP demonstration of Klatskin tumors is often incomplete due to incomplete filling of bile ducts peripheral to the stenosis.
		Although not pathognomonic, the presence of bile duct dilatation within the tumor and retraction of the liver capsule adjacent to the tumor are suggestive of the diagnosis.
		In conclusion, detection and accurate staging of Klatskin tumor is improved by multi-phasic helical CT scanning and MR imaging.

	The Biliary Tree -- Information from the Pancreatico-Biliary Diseases Center
		Surgical resection of tumors in the upper third of the bile duct (Klatskin tumors) may involve removal of a portion of the liver.
		Tumors in the middle third of the bile duct are generally easier to remove but they also require hepaticojejunostomy to restore bile drainage after the operation.
		Bile duct tumors involving the lower third of the bile duct or the ampullary area are usually removed using the Whipple Procedure.

		If the tumor is limited to the bifurcation of the hepatic ducts, a single lobe of the liver, or involves the portal vein or hepatic artery on the same side, the lesion may be resectable.
		Tumors of the bifurcation of the hepatic ducts are classified by the Bismuth classification.

		This report on mutagenesis of the p53 gene in Klatskin tumors shows that the most commonly mutated tumor suppressor gene in human cancers is also mutated in a subset of patients with Klatskin tumors.
		Assessment of a clinical or pathological impact of p53 mutagenesis on Klatskin tumors requires evaluation in larger studies.

		A Klatskin tumor is eliminated by the fact that the obstruction is distal in the pancreatic and bile ducts, while ampullary and duodenal tumors are excluded by the fact that they were not visualized on the ERCP.
		Extrahepatic causes of cholestasis include gallstones, obstructing tumors, benign strictures such as one sees secondary to pancreatitis and status post cholecystectomy when the bile duct is injured, and congenital abnormalities such as choledochal cysts, Caroli's disease and primary sclerosing cholangitis.
		In general, ERCP is useful for ampullary tumors, whereas PTC is useful for proximal bile duct tumors that obstruct the confluence of the bile ducts.

		The three most commonly used treatments are injection of the tumor with 95% alcohol, injection of chemotherapy and microscopic plastic beads into the artery bringing blood to the tumor to cut off its blood supply (chemoembolization), and heating of the tumor using an electrical device (radiofrequency ablation).
		The tumor cells often produce hormones or other substances that can cause you a variety of problems including diarrhea, stomach ulcers, low blood sugar, and flushing that can be more troublesome than the mere presence of the tumor masses.
		Such tumors are far and few between, for the most part in patients with unusual low-grade malignancies rather than the more common tumor types such as colon or breast cancer.

		After a ERCP they came to the conclusion that it has to be a Klatskin tumor due to the location of the tissue (the upper bile duct and part of the liver).
		I forgot to tell you they didn't know how big the tumor was before surgery, but they did prepare me that it might have envaded the liver.
