Zentrales Gallengangskarzinom (Klatskin-Tumor)

Abstract: Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma or Klatskin tumors are a rare entity arising from the extrahepatic bile duct bifurcation. Considering the close anatomical relationship of the bile duct bifurcation with the portal vein bifurcation and hepatic arteries, surgical treatment is demanding. With an incidence of only 2-4 cases/100,000 population/year patients should be referred to a specialized center. The tumors are usually poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas growing diffusely along the duct and also the perineural sh… Show more

“…It originates from the bifurcation of the extrahepatic bile duct and was first described in 1965 by Gerald Klatskin who reported 15 cases and defined some features in these cholangiocarcinomas [2–4]. Most KCCs are adenocarcinomas with poor differentiation degree, spreading along the duct and nerve sheath [5]. There are some risk factors, including primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), liver fluke infection (C. sinensis and Opisthorchis viverrini), and intrahepatic bile duct stones, but most KCCs are sporadic with no obvious predisposing factors [6].…”

“…Current surgical strategies usually include choledochectomy, extended hepatectomy, and portal resection. Due to the local anatomy, the proximal and lateral safety margin R0 resection is a surgery that demands excellent technique [5]. Molina et al reported that lymph node involvement and metastasis were important prognostic factors.…”

“…Although surgical resection with negative margins is the only hope for a cure, only a small subset of patients is amenable to surgery at the time of diagnosis [21,22]. Complete surgical resection is the most critical prognostic factor for survival; however, total or neartotal resection is challenging because of the close anatomical relationship of the bile duct bifurcation with the portal vein bifurcation and hepatic arteries [5,22]. In the current study, most of the KT patients who were offered treatment received radiation alone as a primary treatment, followed by surgery, and the survival was poor (1.08±1.26 years).…”

“…KT also accounts for approximately 2% of all cancer diagnoses, with an overall incidence of 2-4 cases/100,000 population/year patients and is seen slightly more frequently in males (male:female ratio of 1.3:1) [4]. Almost two-thirds of KT cases occur in patients over the age of 65 years, with a near 10% increase in patients over 80 years of age [5].…”

“…Ведущим симптомом, вынуждающим пациентов обратиться к врачу, является желтуха. Гистологически опухоли внепеченочных желчных протоков (ОВЖП) представляют собой аденокарциному различной степени дифференцировки, диффузно растущие вдоль протока, а также периневральной оболочки [2].…”
