The preoperative diagnostic procedures and surgical measurcs adopted were reviewed. Results The primary misdiagnosis rate was 68%. Patients were misdiagnosed as cholelithiasis complicated by intrahepatic inflammatory mass, hepatic abscess, hepatic hydrocyst, and hepatic adenoma;The surgical procedure performed were choledocholithotomy, hepatophyma incision drainage or liver puncture drainage on B mode ultrasound localization, and hepatic cyst fenestration. Conclusions The hepatic cholangiocarcinoma can mimic many other benign diseases leading to misdiagnosis and improper surgery. Hence clinical features,history and laboratory evidence characteristic of the cancer must be sought preoperatively and intraoperative biopsy should be taken before definite surgical procedure. [
