Abstract

The S3 guideline on hepatocellular carcinoma has been expanded to include malignant biliary carcinoma (synonym cholangiocarcinoma [CCA]). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with additional magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is the imaging modality of choice to evaluate local findings. Use of gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine penta‐acetic acid (Gd‐EOB‐DTPA)-based contrast agent increases its diagnostic value. Histologic confirmation is always required when diagnosing intrahepatic CCA (iCCA) because using imaging alone there is a risk of confusion with HCC subtypes.
