Abstract

Sarcomatous Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is a rare but an aggressive variant of cholangiocarcinoma with a very poor prognosis. A 79-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of incidentally found liver mass. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed well-defined hypointense mass on T1WI and heterogeneous hyperintense mass on T2WI. Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced study shows peripheral rim-like enhancement in arterial phase and progressive concentric filling of contrast in delayed phase. And mass shows significant enhancement in hepatobiliary phase. The pathologic diagnosis was intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with sarcomatous change.
