Abstract
- There are very few reports on the intrabiliary growth of a liver metastasis from a colorectal cancer. The clinical and radiographic findings resemble those of a cholangiocarcinoma. We encountered a surgically resected case of a metastatic liver tumor with prominent intrabiliary growth derived from ascending colon cancer. The patient was a 55 year-old man with ascending colon cancer who showed a cholangiocarcinoma at segment IV of the liver with a mild dilatation of bile duct. He underwent a left hemihepatectomy and right hemicolectomy. The resected specimen of the liver showed a mass with intraductal growth at segment IV. The histological findings demonstrated it to be a metastatic adenocarcinoma.
