Hodgkin’s Lymphoma as a Rare Cause of Vanishing Bile Duct Syndrome: A Case Report

Abstract

Vanishing bile duct syndrome (VBDS) is a disorder presented with jaundice and prolonged cholestasis due to intrahepatic cholestasis with the paucity of interlobular bile ducts. Liver involvement of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) is well-known however VBDS is an extremely rare presentation of HL. Lack of wellestablished pathogenetic mechanism and rarity of disorder may cause diagnostic confusion. We reported a VBDS case related to Hodgkin’s lymphoma, presented with generalized jaundice.
