Biliary involvement in Hodgkin's disease

Pediatr Radiol. 2002 Mar;32(3):202-4. doi: 10.1007/s00247-001-0585-3.

Abstract

Hodgkin's disease (HD) usually presents with lymphadenopathy. At the time of diagnosis, mediastinal involvement is present in most patients, and purely extranodal disease is rare. We present a case of HD with disease apparently limited to the liver and spleen, and imaging and biopsy findings compatible with sclerosing cholangitis.
