Biliary tract obstruction due to sarcoidosis: a case report
Am J Gastroenterol.
1997 Mar.
Abstract
A 43-year old man presented with a clinical picture compatible with cholestatic jaundice. ERCP was suggestive of cholangiocarcinoma. Liver biopsy showed non-caseating granuloma. The diagnosis was a rare presentation of hepatic sarcoidosis causing obstruction to the biliary tract. Obstruction was alleviated with corticosteroids.
