[Involvement of the common bile duct in Hodgkin's disease : report of three cases (author's transl)].

The authors report 3 cases of extra-hepatic obstruction of the common bile duct in Hodgkin's disease, in one case due to lymph nodes compressing the hepatic pedicle, in the second case due to infiltration of the common bile duct alone, in the third case by a large Hodgkin tumour of the head of the pancreas. Although emphasizing the rareness of these cases of jaundice in Hodgkin's disease, they emphasize the necessity of exploring these patients in order to make a precise assessment of the lesions and thus choose the best treatment.
