Washington, MD, PhDWith guidance from the CAP Cancer and CAP Pathology Electronic Reporting Committees.* Denotes primary author. All other contributing authors are listed alphabetically.Accreditation RequirementsThis protocol can be utilized for a variety of procedures and tumor types for clinical care purposes. For accreditation purposes, only the definitive primary cancer resection specimen is required to have the core and conditional data elements reported in a synoptic format. Core data elements are required in reports to adequately describe appropriate malignancies. For accreditation purposes, essential data elements must be reported in all instances, even if the response is “not applicable” or “cannot be determined.”Conditional data elements are only required to be reported if applicable as delineated in the protocol. For instance, the total number of lymph nodes examined must be reported, but only if nodes are present in the specimen.Optional data elements are identified with “+” and although not required for CAP accreditation purposes, may be considered for reporting as determined by local practice standards.The use of this protocol is not required for recurrent tumors or for metastatic tumors that are resected at a different time than the primary tumor. Use of this protocol is also not required for pathology reviews performed at a second institution (ie, secondary consultation, second opinion, or review of outside case at second institution).Synoptic ReportingAll core and conditionally required data elements outlined on the surgical case summary from this cancer protocol must be displayed in synoptic report format. Synoptic format is defined as:Data element: followed by its answer (response), outline format without the paired "Data element: Response" format is NOT considered synoptic.The data element should be represented in the report as it is listed in the case summary. The response for any data element may be modified from those listed in the case summary, including “Cannot be determined” if appropriate. Each diagnostic parameter pair (Data element: Response) is listed on a separate line or in a tabular format to achieve visual separation. The following exceptions are allowed to be listed on one line:Anatomic site or specimen, laterality, and procedurePathologic Stage Classification (pTNM) elementsNegative margins, as long as all negative margins are specifically enumerated where applicableThe synoptic portion of the report can appear in the diagnosis section of the pathology report, at the end of the report or in a separate section, but all Data element: Responses must be listed together in one locationOrganizations and pathologists may choose to list the required elements in any order, use additional methods in order to enhance or achieve visual separation, or add optional items within the synoptic report. The report may have required elements in a summary format elsewhere in the report IN ADDITION TO but not as replacement for the synoptic report ie, all required elements must be in the synoptic portion of the report in the format defined above.Summary of ChangesVersion 4.1.0.0Histologic Type (WHO 2019)Surgical Pathology Cancer Case SummaryProtocol posting date: February 2020Intrahepatic Bile Ducts: Select a single response unless otherwise indicated.

Prognosis of perihilar carcinoma: hilar bile duct cancer versus intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma involving the hepatic hilus. Ann Surg Oncol. 2008;15(2):590-599.C. Histologic Type The protocol recommends the following modified classification of the World Health Organization (WHO).1 In the United States, approximately 30% of the primary malignant tumors of the liver are biliary carcinomas.1For intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma iCCA, origin in large duct versus small duct correlates with several clinicopathologic correlations.1 Large duct iCCA tend to form hilar masses, present with obstructive cholestasis and share risk factors with extrahepatic bile duct adenocarcinomas. Small duct iCCA form peripheral liver masses, present with larger tumors and share risk factors with hepatocellular bined or mixed hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma should show histologic evidence of both hepatocellular and biliary differentiation by morphology, and supported by immunohistochemistry.1 Hepatocellular markers with high sensitivity and specificity such as arginase-1 should be included in the panel (in addition to markers like Hep Par 1),2 and a cholangiocarcinoma component should not be diagnosed based solely on immunoreactivity with markers like CK7, CK19, and/or MOC31, which can be positive in a subset of HCC, especially in variants like scirrhous HCC.3 Discrete gland formation with or without mucin, positive staining of these areas with CK7, CK19, and/or MOC31, and negative results in these areas with hepatocellular markers is the most reliable evidence of a cholangiocarcinoma component. The proportion of each component can be provided. The size of the entire tumor is used for staging. The demographics and clinical features of combined HCC-cholangiocarcinoma such as age, sex, viral hepatitis status, and cirrhosis tend to resemble that of HCC,4,5 while some studies have reported molecular changes similar to cholangiocarcinomaPFJlZm1hbj48Q2l0ZT48QXV0aG9yPkxlZTwvQXV0aG9yPjxZZWFyPjIwMDY8L1llYXI+PFJlY051

Liver Transpl. 2011;17(8):934-942.D.Histologic GradeFor cholangiocarcinomas, definitive criteria for histologic grading have not been established; however, the following quantitative grading system based on the proportion of gland formation within the tumor is suggested: Grade XGrade cannot be assessedGrade 1Well differentiated (more than 95% of tumor composed of glands)Grade 2Moderately differentiated (50% to 95% of tumor composed of glands)Grade 3Poorly differentiated (less than 49% of tumor composed of glands)Undifferentiated category is rarely used and is reserved for tumors that do not show obvious glandular, squamous, or neuroendocrine differentiation on morphology and/or immunohistochemistry. It is more appropriate to categorize these as undifferentiated carcinomas rather than cholangiocarcinoma. This category is not included in the AJCC scheme. There is no separate grading scheme for combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma; both the components can be separately graded. This grading system is not applicable to poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma.E. Tumor Growth Pattern Three tumor growth patterns of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma are described: the mass-forming type, the periductal infiltrating type, and mixed mass-forming/periductal-infiltrating type. Mass-forming intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (60% of cases) forms a well-demarcated nodule growing in a radial pattern and invading the adjacent liver parenchyma (Figure 2). In contrast, the periductal-infiltrating type of cholangiocarcinoma (20% of cases) spreads in a diffuse longitudinal growth pattern along the bile duct. The remaining 20% of cases of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma grow in a mixed mass-forming/periductal-infiltrating pattern. Earlier studies suggested a poor outcome for diffuse periductal-infiltrating type, while some recent studies have suggested a relatively favorable prognosis.1-4 Figure 2.

AJCC Cancer Staging Manual. 8th ed. New York, NY: Springer; 2017. F. MarginsThe evaluation of margins for total or partial hepatectomy specimens depends on the method and extent of resection. It is recommended that the surgeon be consulted to determine the critical foci within the margins that require microscopic evaluation. The transection margin of a partial hepatectomy may be large, rendering it impractical for complete examination. In this setting, grossly positive margins should be microscopically confirmed and documented. If the margins are grossly free of tumor, judicious sampling of the cut surface in the region closest to the nearest identified tumor nodule is indicated. In selected cases, adequate random sampling of the cut surface may be sufficient. The histologic examination of the bile ducts at the cut margin is recommended to evaluate the lining epithelium for in situ carcinoma or dysplasia. If the neoplasm is found near the surgical margin, the distance from the margin should be reported. For multiple tumors, the distance from the nearest tumor should be reported.G.Pathologic Stage ClassificationAccording to AJCC/UICC convention, the designation “T” refers to a primary tumor that has not been previously treated. The symbol “p” refers to the pathologic classification of the TNM, as opposed to the clinical classification, and is based on gross and microscopic examination. pT entails a resection of the primary tumor or biopsy adequate to evaluate the highest pT category, pN entails removal of nodes adequate to validate lymph node metastasis, and pM implies microscopic examination of distant lesions. Clinical classification (cTNM) is usually carried out by the referring physician before treatment during initial evaluation of the patient or when pathologic classification is not possible.Pathologic staging is usually performed after surgical resection of the primary tumor. Pathologic staging depends on pathologic documentation of the anatomic extent of disease, whether or not the primary tumor has been completely removed. If a biopsied tumor is not resected for any reason (eg, when technically infeasible) and if the highest T and N categories or the M1 category of the tumor can be confirmed microscopically, the criteria for pathologic classification and staging have been satisfied without total removal of the primary cancer. TNM DescriptorsFor identification of special cases of TNM or pTNM classifications, the “m” suffix and “y,” “r,” and “a” prefixes are used. Although they do not affect the stage grouping, they indicate cases needing separate analysis.The “m” suffix indicates the presence of multiple primary tumors in a single site and is recorded in parentheses: pT(m)NM.The “y” prefix indicates those cases in which classification is performed during or after initial multimodality therapy (ie, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or both chemotherapy and radiation therapy). The cTNM or pTNM category is identified by a “y” prefix. The ycTNM or ypTNM categorizes the extent of tumor actually present at the time of that examination. The “y” categorization is not an estimate of tumor before multimodality therapy (ie, before initiation of neoadjuvant therapy).The “r” prefix indicates a recurrent tumor when staged after a documented disease-free interval and is identified by the “r” prefix: rTNM.The “a” prefix designates the stage determined at autopsy: aTNM.T Category ConsiderationsT includes high-grade biliary intraepithelial neoplasia (BilIn-3), intraductal papillary neoplasm with high-grade dysplasia, and mucinous cystic neoplasm with high-grade dysplasia. For intraepithelial lesions, a 3-tier biliary intraepithelial neoplasia classification has been proposed.1The T categories are based on size, vascular invasion and extrahepatic spread. For invasive carcinoma associated with intraductal papillary neoplasms and mucinous cystic neoplasms, only the size of the invasive component should be used to determine the T category. The synoptic report is not required for intraductal papillary neoplasms and mucinous cystic neoplasms in the absence of an invasive component. For invasive carcinoma associated with intraductal papillary neoplasms and mucinous cystic neoplasms, only the size of the invasive component should be used to determine the T category. The invasive portion in these cases can be multifocal. The size of the largest focus as well as cumulative size of all invasive carcinoma foci should be included in the report. Till further data becomes available, the T category should be determined based on size of the largest invasive focus. Vascular invasion includes either gross or microscopic involvement of vessels. Major vascular invasion is defined as invasion of the branches of the main portal vein or hepatic artery (first and second order branches) or as invasion of 1 or more of the 3 hepatic veins (right, middle or left). Direct invasion of visceral peritoneum is considered as T3, while adjacent organs, including colon, duodenum, stomach, common bile duct, portal lymph nodes, abdominal wall, and diaphragm, is considered as T4 disease. Due to inconsistent criteria for defining tumors with periductal growth pattern and its unclear association with outcome, this growth pattern is no longer a part of the T classification.Additional DescriptorsLymphovascular InvasionLymphovascular invasion (LVI) indicates whether microscopic lymphovascular invasion is identified in the pathology report. LVI includes lymphatic invasion, vascular invasion, or lymphovascular invasion. References ADDIN EN.REFLIST 1.Zen Y, Adsay NV, Bardadin K, et al. Biliary intraepithelial neoplasia: an international interobserver agreement study and proposal for diagnostic criteria. Mod Pathol. 2007;20(6):701-709.H. Lymph NodesLymph node metastases have consistently been identified as an important predictor of outcome for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.1-3 The lymph node involvement pattern for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas varies with location in the liver (Figure 3). For carcinomas arising in the right lobe of the liver (segments 5-8), the regional lymph nodes include the hilar (common bile duct, hepatic artery, portal vein, and cystic duct), periduodenal, and peripancreatic lymph nodes. For tumors arising in the left lobe, the regional lymph nodes are the hilar, inferior phrenic and gastrohepatic lymph nodes. Nodal involvement of the celiac, periaortic, or pericaval lymph nodes is considered to be distant metastasis (pM1).

AJCC Cancer Staging Atlas. New York, NY: Springer; 2006.I. Additional Pathologic FindingsThe extent of fibrosis should be reported as cirrhosis or advanced fibrosis have an adverse effect on outcome. The scoring system described by Ishak1 is recommended by the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, 8th edition,2 but other commonly used schemes (Batts-Ludwig, Metavir) can be used. The name of the staging scheme and its scale should be included.The presence of underlying disease, such as primary sclerosing cholangitis,3 should be included in the pathology report. Biliary parasites and recurrent pyogenic cholangitis may be present along with cholangiocarcinoma in Asian countries. Hepatitis C infection, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, obesity, and smoking are also risk factors for cholangiocarcinoma.4,5References ADDIN EN.REFLIST 1.Ishak K, Baptista A, Bianchi L, et al.
