Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is an uncommon malignant tumor, and its incidence has been increasing in the recent 30 years. Since patients have no specific clinical manifestations in early stage, the diagnosis of this disease is often very difficult, with a low rate of radical resection in late stage and poor prognosis. Therefore, as for patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, early screening and diagnosis is of vital importance. Imaging examination is an important method for the diagnosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and when combined with laboratory markers and pathological examination, it can increase diagnostic rate and reduce the rate of missed diagnosis. It is important in clinical practice to select reasonable methods based on the patient′s actual condition.
