Abstract
A case of cholangiocarcinoma arising from multiple bile duct hamartoma s (von Meyenburg complexes) is reported in a 68-year-old man. This man has been treated for generic hemochromatosis for 2 years. The diagnos is of cholangiocarcinoma was suspected by a systematic ultrasound test and made through the pathological examination of the resected specime n. Only six cases have already been reported. Our case is peculiar bec ause it occurred on a genetic hemochromatosis.
