Abstract
Hilar cholangiocarcinoma is an adenocarcinoma of the bile duct arising from the large bile ducts near the hepatic hilum. In this manuscript, radiologic findings and preoperative assessment techniques are described according to morphologic classification proposed by Liver cancer study group of Japan. Also, pros and cons of each imaging modalities are discussed.
