A 61-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of pain in her back on the right side. Abdominal CT revealed a cystic tumor in S8-7 of the liver measuring about 6cm in diameter and an intraperitoneal fluid collection. TAE was performed because of intraperitoneal bleeding from the tumor. Preoperative colonoscopy revealed a sigmoid colon tumor, and sigmoidectomy and S8-7 hepatectomy were performed for a diagnosis of sigmoid colon cancer and bile duct cystadenocarcinoma or liver metastasis by the sigmoid colon cancer. The histological diagnosis was sigmoid colon cancer and bile duct cystadenocarcinoma. Bile duct cystadenocarcinoma is rare, and the treatment of choice is a complete resection of the tumor.
