Fig. 1B 48-year-old woman with jaundice and suspected
cholangiocarcinoma. Biliary inflammatory pseudotumor confirmed at right
trisegmentectomy. Portal venous inflow phase image of triphasic
contrast-enhanced CT shows poorly defined enhancing lesion at duct bifurcation
(arrow) and moderate intrahepatic biliary duct dilatation.

Fig. 1F 48-year-old woman with jaundice and suspected
cholangiocarcinoma. Biliary inflammatory pseudotumor confirmed at right
trisegmentectomy. ERCP image, which corresponds to E, obtained during
stent placement shows focal hilar biliary stricture.

Fig. 2A 42-year-old woman with presumed Klatskin's tumor.
Infiltrating biliary pseudotumor was diagnosed at surgical resection after
adjuvant chemotherapy. Hepatic phase CT image shows infiltrating tumor along
encased and compressed right portal vein (arrows).

Fig. 2B 42-year-old woman with presumed Klatskin's tumor.
Infiltrating biliary pseudotumor was diagnosed at surgical resection after
adjuvant chemotherapy. Axial PET/CT image shows 18F-FDG activity
along course of right portal vein (arrows). Left percutaneous biliary
catheter (arrowhead) is in place.

Fig. 2C 42-year-old woman with presumed Klatskin's tumor.
Infiltrating biliary pseudotumor was diagnosed at surgical resection after
adjuvant chemotherapy. Coronal PET/CT image shows linear 18F-FDG
uptake within right lobe (arrows). Internal biliary stent
(arrowhead) is also in place.

Fig. 3A 68-year-old man with jaundice and abdominal pain. Brushing
cytology during ERCP showed cellular atypia. Inflammatory pseudotumor was
diagnosed after right hepatectomy and biliary diversion. Hepatic phase image
of triphasic CT examination shows isoenhancing biliary hilar soft tissue
(arrow) and intrahepatic duct dilatation after stent placement.

Fig. 3B 68-year-old man with jaundice and abdominal pain. Brushing
cytology during ERCP showed cellular atypia. Inflammatory pseudotumor was
diagnosed after right hepatectomy and biliary diversion. Delayed phase image
shows mild retention of contrast material within hilar soft tissue
(arrow).
