Intrahepatic Cholangiolocellular and Cholangiocellular Carcinoma - Differences in the 18F-FDG PET/CT Findings.

Intrahepatic Cholangiolocellular and Cholangiocellular Carcinoma - Differences in the 18F-FDG PET/CT Findings. Intern Med. 2017 Sep 25;: Authors: Takahashi Y, Sato S, Ishitobi H, Nagaoka M, Kobayashi Y, Fukuhara H, Yuki M, Komazawa Y, Kuroda H, Shizuku T Abstract Cholangiolocellular carcinoma is a minor primary cancerous tumor of the liver and its coexistence with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in the liver is rare. We herein report a case of concurrent cholangiolocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in the liver, in addition to a rectal G1 neuroendocrine tumor, a so-called carcinoid. The intrahepatic tumors showed a different uptake in the 18-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG) positron-emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) findings. In addition to conventional dynamic contrast-enhanced CT, we concluded that FDG PET/CT could therefore be a helpful modality to identify the properties of both cholangiolocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
