Resolution of Diffuse Intrahepatic Biliary Strictures after Chemotherapy for Metastatic Ovarian Cancer

چکیده
Sclerosing cholangitis and cholestatic jaundice secondary to metastatic disease is a rare complication. We report a rare case of secondary sclerosing cholangitis (SSC) due to lymphatic spread from ovarian cancer with complete resolution after chemotherapy. The diagnosis of SSC from metastatic ovarian cancer was clinically challenging, as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography revealed irregular hepatic ducts consistent with sclerosing cholangitis, but it did not identify any malignant cells. The final diagnosis was made with liver biopsy revealing high-grade metastatic Mullerian carcinoma. The patient responded well to chemotherapy and is in remission. A timely diagnosis is important and can lead to complete resolution of the disease.
