A case of polypoid carcinoma of the left hepatic duct in 50-year-old male was reported. Extended left hepatic lobectomy with total caudate lobectomy and resection of the right hepatic duct were performed because the tumor involved the right hepatic duct and bile duct branches of caudate lobe, medial and lateral segment. Papillary growth of the tumor was diagnosed definitely by percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy (PTCS) and computed tomography. The tumor infiltrated the liver parenchyma of medial segment and compressed the middle hepatic vein. These findings were revealed by selective middle hepatic venography preoperatively.
