| Abstract: | Caroli's disease is a rare congenital condition characterized by cystic
dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts. A 74-year-old man with chronic renal failure
complicated by polycystic kidney disease presented with jaundice and fever. Ultrasonogra-
phy, non-contrast computed tomography, and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatogra-
phy (MRCP) were performed. Contrast medium was not administered because of the renal
failure due to polycystic kidney disease. MRCP provided cholangiographic images of the
biliary system. No hepatic fibrosis was observed on liver biopsied specimens. Based･ on the
cystic dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts, stone formation, cholangitis, absence of
hepatic cirrhosis, and association with cystic of the kidneys, a diagnosis Caroli's disease was
made. |
