RPC is a progressive cholangiopathy of uncertain etiology that demonstrates characteristic imaging features and that often requires a multidisciplinary approach to management. Although RPC occurs most commonly in southeast Asia, the recognition of this disease and its imaging features is important because this entity is occurring with increasing frequency in the United States.
