    Summary

    A rare case of intermittent obstructive jaundice was diagnosed as primary sclerosing cholangitis after surgery revealed hepato-choledochic fibrosis. This diagnosis excluded cholangiocarcinoma, with the patient remaining well two years post-operation.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Intermittent cholestatic jaundice presents diagnostic challenges.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management of biliary diseases.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with intermittent obstructive jaundice.
    • Initial clinical and laboratory tests were inconclusive, necessitating exploratory surgery.

    Findings:

    • Hepato-choledochic fibrosis with severe lumenal stenosis was identified.
    • The Vater's tubercle was patent; no gallstones or prior biliary surgery were noted.
    • Primary sclerosing cholangitis was diagnosed postoperatively.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights primary sclerosing cholangitis as a differential diagnosis for unexplained obstructive jaundice.
    • Surgical intervention and biliary drainage can be effective in managing such cases.
    • Long-term follow-up confirmed the exclusion of cholangiocarcinoma.
