Objective To study the image findings and clinical characteristics ofmultislice helical CT (MSCT) in intrahepatic mass-forming cholangiocarcinomas.Methods Fifteen patients of pathologically confirmed intrahepatic mass-forming cholangiocarcinomas were studied retrospectively.The image findings of MSCT and clinical manifestations,laboratory tests of each case were recorded respectively.Results All patients image findings of MSCT:density was uneven,moderately low congestion densities was 14 patients.High and low congestion densities was 1 patient,pathologically confirmed bleeding.Obscure boundary and atrophy of liver lobe was 10 patients,adjacent liver capsule retraction was 11 patients,combined with ductal dilatation was 11 patients,intrabepatic calculi was 5 patients,ductal wall thickening with or without narrowed bile duct was 9 patients,satellite nodules was 10 patients.Enhancement scanning showed:peripheral enhancement was 11 patients,arterial phase border enhancement was 11 patients,all had delayed enhancement,honeycomb-like enhancement was 3 patients,obliteration or invasion of portal vein was 11 patients.Conclusion There are some clinical characteristics of MSCT findings in intrahepatic mass-forming cholangiocarcinomas.
