Aim Differentiating intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) from poorly differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma (p-HCC) is often difficult, but it is important for providing appropriate treatments. The purpose of this study was to examine the features differentiating ICC from p-HCC on contrast-enhance...
