Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Associated with Central Calcification and Arterio-portal Shunt

Hepatic and Perihepatic Involvement in Pneumokonioses and Other Mineral-Induced Diseases

“…Few HCCs show a rim or ring calcification that may mimic parasitic hydatid disease (Mitchell et al 1994;Fukuya et al 1999). Calcified cholangiocarcinomas seem to be rarer than calcified hepatocellular carcinomas (Hall et al 1970;Yamasaki et al 1977;Nagakura et al 1999;Kitade et al 2005), but in the intrahepatic variants, calcifications have been noted in up to 18 % (Stoupis et al 1998). There are exceptional situations where psammoma body formation is a feature of cholangiocarcinoma (Yamada et al 2000).…”
