Abstract

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is the second most common primary malignant hepatic neoplasm. We describe twocases of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma which initially presented as liver abscess both clinically andradiologically. Mucin-hypersecretion from the tumor cells and extensive necrosis or secondary bacterial infectionwas responsible for the radiologic appearance of a liver abscess.
