Combined intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma

Abstract: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the fifth most common cancer globally and third leading cause of cancer-related mortality is a heterogeneous disease with a highly variable clinical course. The inherent biological diversity of hepatic carcinomas may hinder therapeutic decision making and prognostication for patients. One distinct, albeit rare, subtype of primary hepatic carcinoma is combined intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma (cHCC-ICC), which carries an overall worse prognosis than ei… Show more

“…In part, the pathologic diagnosis of mixed HCC‐ICC has improved with greater expertise on the part of pathologists probably due to a better definition of the diagnostic criteria. Although a unified criterion for combined HCC‐CC is still not available, a diagnosis of combined HCC‐CC requires evidence of HCC differentiation, such as trabecular growth pattern, bile production, or bile canaliculi as well as clear evidence of ICC, such as true glandular structures formed by biliary‐type epithelium, mucin production or prominent desmoplastic stoma . A diagnosis of mixed HCC‐ICC is typically characterized by an interface where HCC and ICC components intimately intermingle with each other .…”

“…In the same solid malignant neoplasm, PLC can be classified according to histological sources. A tumor that contains only cancerous hepatocytes is defined as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), only cancerous bile duct cells are defined as intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), and a mixture of HCC and ICC is defined as combined hepatocellular–cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-ICC) ( 3 , 4 ).…”

“…The perihilar area is a very common site of CC, accounting for around half of all cases. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] How do we explain this disconnect between official data on the proportion of CC which are perihilar and the numbers we see in actual clinical practice? The likely answer is the decades-long systematic error in the recording of perihilar CC by the WHO's International Classification (ICD) system.…”

“…These three types of CC are anatomically distinct, have differing epidemiology, pathobiology, clinical presentations and management. 2 The term ''Klatskin" is historic, unclear and should be abandoned in subsequent versions of the ICD and ICD-O classification systems.…”
