    We report a young patient with cholangiocellular carcinoma. A 30-year-old man with icterus was diagnosed with cholangiocellular carcinoma of the left hepatic lobe with invasion to the right hepatic duct and the right anterior branch of the portal vein. Left hepatic trisegmentectomy, caudate lobectomy, and resection and reconstruction of the bile duct and portal vein were done. His postoperative course was uneventful and he was discharged on postoperative day (POD) 19. Five months after surgery, portal hypertension due to recurrence at the portal anastomosis was noted, but he died 14 months after initial surgery despite additional treatment and follow-up. The rarity of cholangiocellular carcinoma in the young prompted us to report this case.
