Abstract
Among the intrahepatic cystic diseases except Caroli's disease, only biliary cystadenoma/cystadenocarcinoma may communicate with the bile duct. We present a case of biliary cystadenocarcinoma in which drip infusion cholangiographic-computed tomography demonstrated communication between an intrahepatic cyst and the biliary system preoperatively. Drip infusion cholangiographic-computed tomography, a simple and noninvasive examination, is useful for differentiating biliary cystadenoma/cystadenocarcinoma from other intrahepatic cystic lesions.
