Abstract
The authors report two cases of surgically proved cholangiolocellular carci noma of the liver. Marked contrast enhancement was observed at the peripher y of the tumor on CTs and MRIs obtained during the hepatic arterial and por tal venous phases, with concentric filling on the delayed images. On T1-wei ghted and T2-weighted MRIs, the tumor was, respectively, hypointense and hy perintense, with a central hypointense area. Therefore, helical CT and MRI features of these cholangiolocellular carcinomas were thought to be similar to those of cholangiocarcinoma.
