Biliary cystadenocarcinoma is a rare hepatic cystic tumor. We report sonographic, CT, and MRI findings in an unusual case in an 87‐year‐old man. The diagnosis was aided by sonographically guided needle aspiration of the lesion, which revealed elevated levels of carcinoembryonic antigen and CA 19‐9 in the cystic fluid. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
