N2 - Sarcomatoid transformation is a rare butwell documented change that may occur in intrahepaticcholangiocarcinomas.We report a tumor of this type toillustrate the difficulties in properly diagnosing cholangiocarcinomawhen only the sarcomatous componentis sampled by transcutaneous needle biopsy. Theproper diagnosis of the tumor was suggested by findingthe expression of cytokeratin 7 in the sarcomatousspindle cells. The surgically resected tumor compriseda spindle cell sarcomatous and an adenocarcinomatouscomponent accounting for approximately 30% and70% of the total tumor mass respectively.
