Abstract
A 43-year old man presented with a clinical picture compatible with ch olestatic jaundice. ERCP was suggestive of cholangiocarcinoma. Liver b iopsy showed non-caseating granuloma. The diagnosis was a rare present ation of hepatic sarcoidosis causing obstruction to the biliary tract. Obstruction was alleviated with corticosteroids.
