However, the classification of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (phCCA) with an intrahepatic tumor mass remains unclear. This study aimed to position phCCA near the hilar plate (hCCA) within an extrahepatic\u2013intrahepatic framework using pathological and molecular analyses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 357 resected invasive CCAs, 100 hCCAs were histologically classified as either hCCA with (hCCA\u2010M) or hCCA without (hCCA\u2010NM) a grossly evident intrahepatic mass. Transcriptomic comparison of 9 typical eCCAs and 39 mass\u2010forming iCCAs identified three contextual markers, which were examined by immunohistochemistry in 309 additional cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 100 hCCAs, 85 were hCCA\u2010NM and 15 hCCA\u2010M. Claudin 18 (CLDN18) and mesothelin (MSLN) were identified as extrahepatic contextual markers, and serpin family A member 1 (SERPINA1) as an intrahepatic contextual marker. SERPINA1 was more highly expressed in hCCA\u2010M than in hCCA\u2010NM, regardless of microscopic liver parenchymal invasion, whereas CLDN18 and MSLN were similarly expressed in both. Cluster analysis revealed that hCCA\u2010NM clustered with eCCA, whereas hCCA\u2010M clustered with iCCA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Gross intrahepatic mass formation indicates an intrahepatic contextual profile and provides a useful criterion for subclassifying hCCA.
