    jenny…not specifically have we had reports on B-Cell Lymphoma we have however, received several postings re: that the suspected CC turned out to be not that. CC generally is suspected considering the symptoms and supporting scans and blood work. The true diagnoses (in many instances) is made during surgery when the tumor is visible to the naked eye of the physician.
    All my best wishes,

    In March my Father was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma with a Katskin tumour which the surgeon did not want to biopsy so as not to seed the tumour, they were 99% sure of this diagnosis but only pathology would be exact. In May he had a hepatic resection (75%) to remove the obstruction, achieved negative margins and the post-surgical pathology report showed that he did not have cholangiocarcinoma but large, diffuse B-Cell Lymphoma. Has anyone ever heard of this?
