title: Hepatobiliary graft-versus-host disease manifested by common and hepatic biliary duct obstruction.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  A 26-year-old patient presented with ascending cholangitis 8 months after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for immunoblastic lymphoma.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography showed common and hepatic biliary duct obstruction that was attibuted to chronic graft-versus-host disease.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case indicates that hepatobiliary disease related to chronic graft-versus-host disease may involve major bile ducts causing obstruction.
