Abstract:
An interportal communicating branch was found at the hepatic bifurcation in two (2.4%) out of 83 hepatectomized cases of carcinoma of the biliary tract. The first case was a 54-year-old male with intrahepatic bile duct cancer, and the second was a 64-year-old female with gallbladder cancer. No other anatomical anomalies were found in the portal vein, hepatic artery, or biliary tract.
