Abstract

A 48-year-old woman with Caroli's disease accompanied by hepatolithiasis, choledocholithiasis, and cholangiocarcinoma is reported. Magnetic resonance imaging was useful for the diagnosis of the cholangiocarcinoma. The relationship between cholangiocarcinoma and hepatolithiasis, choledocholithiasis, and chronic cholangitis in Caroli's disease is discussed.
