[One-lobe Caroli's disease (report of a clinical case].
A patient affected by Caroli's disease without congenital fibrosis, 80 y. old is reported. The Caroli's disease was asymptomatic all life long; this was a intraoperative finding and only in the last year the patient presented recurrent cholangitis. The "simple" Caroli's disease is less common than other forms. We analyze the literature and the ethiopathogenetic mechanisms hypotisized.
