Hepatobiliary graft-versus-host disease manifested by common and hepatic biliary duct obstruction.
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.
