We present here 8 cases of cholangiocarcinoma with spectrum of location extending from peripheral, intra hepatic and extra hepatic bile ducts. The tumor can arise from any part of bile duct epithelium i.e. from terminal ductules to the ampulla of vater and also involve peri biliary glands (intra and extra mural). Cholangiocarcinoma is usually classified as intra hepatic or extra hepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is further classified as peri hilar or hilar. Depending upon the locations and size at the time of diagnosis ,the clinical and radiological presentation of the tumor vary.
