Caroli's disease: radiologic spectrum with pathologic correlation

AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2002 Oct;179(4):1053-7. doi: 10.2214/ajr.179.4.1791053.

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of our study was to describe the spectrum of radiologic and pathologic features of Caroli's disease.

Conclusion: Caroli's disease and its complications have overlapping radiologic appearances that reflect the underlying pathology of fibrosis, ductal dilatation, cholangitis, stone formation, and malignancy.
