Extrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas are further classified as either hilar or distal bile duct cholangiocarcinomas. Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma or peripheral cholangiocarcinoma is the second most common primary liver cancer following hepatocellular carcinoma. However, it represents only 10% of all cholangiocarcinomas.
