Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that affects multiple organs. The lungs are the most commonly involved organs. Although a large proportion of patients with sarcoidosis have liver involvement, bile duct involvement is rare. Here, we present a case of a 56-year-old African American patient presented with painless jaundice because of extrahepatic bile duct sarcoidosis. Our diagnostic approach using endoscopic cholangioscopy with targeted biopsies confirmed the diagnosis. Multiple bile duct stent exchanges were performed to manage the bile duct stricture in addition to medical therapy.
结节病是一种影响多个器官的炎症性疾病。肺是最常受累的器官。虽然很大一部分结节病患者有肝脏受累,但胆管受累很少见。在此,我们报告一例56岁非裔美国患者,因肝外胆管结节病出现无痛性黄疸。我们使用内镜胆管镜检查并进行靶向活检的诊断方法确诊了该病。除药物治疗外,还进行了多次胆管支架置换以处理胆管狭窄。
