Area of Science:

Gastroenterology and Hepatology

Background:

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic liver disease characterized by inflammation and fibrosis of the bile ducts.
The etiology of PSC remains largely unknown, but it is associated with autoimmune conditions and genetic factors.

Observation:

This report describes a unique case of primary sclerosing cholangitis.
The patient presented with no history of choledocholithiasis (gallstones in the bile duct), previous biliary surgery, or traumatic biliary injury.

Findings:

The diagnosis of primary sclerosing cholangitis was established in the absence of common risk factors or preceding events.
This presentation highlights the potential for PSC to develop without typical predisposing conditions.

Implications:

This case underscores the importance of considering PSC even in patients lacking conventional risk factors.

Further research into the diverse etiologies and presentations of PSC is warranted to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient management.
