[A Case of Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma with Ductal Plate Malformation Pattern].

A 56-year-old man with HCV infection was referred to our hospital for further evaluation and treatment of hepatic tumor. Abdominal enhanced computed tomography demonstrated an S8 hepatic tumor, about 15mm in maximal diameter. The tumor showed enhancement on the arterial phase and washout on equilibrium phase. EOB-MRI scan also showed the hepatic tumor with enhancement in the early phase and washout in the delayed phase. Liver function was normal. Serum AFP and PIVKA- II were normal and CEA and CA19-9 were elevated. However, no other tumor was detected by the colonoscopy, esophagogastroduodenoscopy and PET-CT. Under the diagnosis of HCC, partial hepatectomy was performed. Histologically, the tumor was composed of neoplastic glands with irregularly dilated lumen of adenocarcinoma, resembling ductal plate malformation(DPM). And Von Meyenburg complexes and foci of ordinary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC)were also found. ICC with this histologic features reported as a new subtype of ICCs.
