Abstract
This paper reports a case of Caroli's disease confined to the left lob e of the liver that mimicked left portal vein thrombosis on MRI studie s because of the very high signal-intensity on T1-weighted images of i ntrahepatic pigmented calculi. The preoperative diagnosis was a cholan giocarcinoma infiltrating the left hepatic bile duct and portal branch . The final macroscopic and histological diagnosis was Caroli's diseas e of the left liver lobe with wide: enlarged left bile duct containing multiple pigmented calculi.
