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. 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.
