Since intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (I-CCA) is an uncommon malignancy, treatment guidelines for I-CCA therapy have a low level of support, and guidelines for the treatment of recurrence are particularly challenging to establish. While a surgical approach is not clearly recommended for recurrent I-CCA in current guidelines, this approach has been reported as reasonable in a particular patient demographic and should be considered [1-3]. Herein we present to you a case of a 56-year-old female patient who presented with local recurrence 1.5 years post resection and was treated surgically.}
