- Case name: Cholangiocarcinoma-Klatskin tumor.
- Author's name: Dr. Bruno Sagástegui Aguilar.
- Author's job position: Work center: SONOSCAN Ultrasound Center (Private) and TOMONORTE Diagnostic Imaging Center (Private) Trujillo – PERU.
- Clinical and examination: A 54-year-old female patient has had intermittent "dull" pain in the right upper quadrant for 2 years. Mild jaundice and choluria appeared 1 month ago. She does not report any other symptoms. History: DM-2 for 8 years. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy 5 years ago. The treating physician requested a hepatobiliary ultrasound.
- Ultrasound findings: At the level of the hepatic hilum, a solid isoechoic nodular lesion is seen, slightly hypoechoic with irregular, partially defined edges that exert a mass effect on the adjacent vascular structures and intrahepatic bile ducts, dilating them. (Image 1 and Videos 1 and 2).
- Diagnosis: The findings are compatible with Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma – Klatskin Tumor.
