Abstract
OBJECTIVE. We describe the CT and pathologic features of malignant papillar y neoplasms of the intrahepatic bile ducts in 15 patients, CONCLUSION. CT is a useful technique for revealing intraductal lesions, alt hough the findings are nonspecific and variable. When intraductal masses or nodules are seen with localized dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts on CT scans, malignant papillary neoplasms of the intrahepatic bile ducts s hould be included in the differential diagnosis.
