(A) Axial computed tomography 42 × 42 mm (300 × 300 DPI). (B) T2-weighted magnetic resonance cholangiogram shows numerous high-signal-intensity liver lesions and no communication between these and the normal-sized intra- and extrahepatic biliary system. 42 × 42 mm (300 × 300 DPI). (C) Photomicrograph (original magnification, × 40; H&E stain) shows a portal region (arrowheads) containing several cystic spaces, which are interspersed with fibrous stroma and lined by a layer of biliary epithelium (arrows). 84 × 63 mm (300 × 300 DPI).
