Diagnostic Role of Bile Cytology in suspected hilar cholangiocarcinoma: Bile Aspiration Cytology and Brush Cytology

Abstract

Aims Cholangiocarcinomas, broadly known as bile duct cancers, are enigmatic and difficult to diagnose and treat. Despite their rarity, these cancers have poor prognosis and are generally detected at advanced stages. Definitive histology and/or cytology are required to confirm a diagnosis of malignancy before aggressive management.
