Figure

• 

  Fig. 1. (A) Magnetic resonance imaging shows focal dilation of the intrahepatic bile duct in the right posterior segment (arrow) with atrophy. (B) The specimen shows a small tumor in the extrahepatic portion of the right hepatic duct (arrow) and dilated intrahepatic bile ducts. (C) A whitish infiltrative tumor is noted in the submucosal layer of the bile duct.

• 

  Fig. 2. Histologic findings of the tumor. (A) Diffuse, infiltrative tumor is noted in the submucosa of the bile duct. (B) The large tumor cells show eosinophilic granular cytoplasm. (C) The tumor cells are strongly positive for S100 protein.
