Summary

Cholangiocarcinoma is a type of cancer that originates in the epithelial cells of the bile ducts. Cholangiocarcinoma can be intrahepatic, meaning that it originates in the bile ducts carrying bile inside the liver, or extrahepatic, meaning it arises from the bile ducts carrying bile from the liver and the gallbladder to the small intestine. The most common origin IS extrahepatic. Symptoms of cholangiocarcinoma include pain in the upper right abdomen, jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes), itchy skin, weight loss, fever, and fatigue.
