Abstract
Background: A 26-year-old patient presented with ascending cholangitis 8 months after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for immunoblast ic lymphoma. Methods and Results: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancr eatography showed common and hepatic biliary duct obstruction that was attibuted to chronic graft-versus-host disease. Conclusion: This case indicates that hepatobiliary disease related to chronic graft-versus- host disease may involve major bile ducts causing obstruction.
