Peripheral cholangiocarcinoma refers to an adenocarcinoma arising from the bile ducts peripheral to secondary confluence. The growth pattern of the peripheral cholangiocarcinoma may be classified into mass-forming type, infiltrating type, intraductal polypoid type and combined type. Intraductal mucosal spreading mucin secreting intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is a rare subtype of peripheral cholangiocarcinoma. Its existence has been neglected due to its paucity. A 59-year old male presented with jaundice was admitted because of recurrent cholangitis. A MRI of the abdomen showed dilated intrahepatic duct without mass lesions Left hepatectomy was done with negative surgical margin. Pathologic diagnosis was intraductal mucinous type cholangiocarcinoma without stromal invasion. Intrahepatic duct stone was found.
