    Intrahepatic mass-forming cholangiocarcinoma (IMCC) is the most common subtype of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, comprising 78% of cases.

  • 2

    Differentiating IMCC from solitary colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) is challenging due to overlapping imaging features, particularly on MRI.

  • 3

    A scoring system based on MRI features was developed to aid in distinguishing between IMCC and solitary CRLM.

  • 4

    The study included patients with pathologically confirmed IMCC or CRLM, utilizing a standardized MRI protocol for image acquisition.

  • 5

    Management strategies for IMCC and CRLM differ significantly, with surgical resection being the only curative option for IMCC.
