摘      要：To the Editor: We would like to congratulate Tian and colleagues on their recent article: Diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with tumor diameter larger than 5 cm [1]. They argued that, despite not being included in the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases(AASLD) guidelines for the diagnosis of liver diseases, contrast-enhanced ultrasonography(CEUS) can be of use for diagnosis of large(5 cm), mass-forming intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC).
