Klatskin Tumor: Difficulties in Diagnosis and Preoperative Staging. Clinical Observation

Abstract
Klatskin’s tumor is a rare malignant neoplasm characterized by the absence of specific symptoms, challenges in verification and difficulties in assessing the true extent of the tumor. We present a clinical case of a patient with hilar cholangiocarcinoma. The patient received almost the entire modern complex of radiologic examinations for preoperative staging. However, concominant cholangitis, hard-to-reach anatomical localization and tumor’s creeping-growth distorted the results of instrumental studies. The true volume of the lesion was detected only intraoperatively and resulted in an expansion of liver resection volume.
