title: [Intrahepatic biliary lithiasis: experience in 20 years].
abstract: In confirming that intrahepatic gallstones don't represent a frequent disease in western countries, Authors specify how this incidence is going to grow up slowly, but in a progressive way. In reporting their experience since 1980 to nowadays they point out how different diagnostic procedures and therapy way of acting were in the first and in the second deca. After having explained actual therapeutic direction that is described in literature, they finish by stating how this is often conditioned by complex anatomicopathological picture and by seriousness of hepatic damage that often comes with intrahepatic lithiasis.
