REVERSIBLE AIDS-RELATED SCLEROSING CHOLANGITIS

Although hepatobiliary involvement is common in the acquired immunodef iciency syndrome, it infrequently leads to biliary tract abnormalities . We describe a 39-year-old man with human immunodeficiency virus infe ction and no previous acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-defining illn esses, who presented with malaise, right upper quadrant pain, lymphade nopathy and cholestasis. An endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatogr aphy demonstrated sclerosing cholangitis due to disseminated B-cell no n-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Following chemotherapy, his symptoms and signs r apidly improved, so that 1 month later his endoscopic retrograde chola ngiopancreatography had returned entirely to normal.
