A Resected Case of Follicular Cholangitis That Was Difficult to Differentiate from Distal Cholangiocarcinoma in a Patient on Maintenance Hemodialysis

Key Points

• Cholangitis was diagnosed post-surgery as follicular, challenging to differentiate from cancer.
• The patient exhibited elevated cancer markers, and imaging showed abnormalities at the distal bile duct.
• Assessment involved ERCP, blood tests, and pathological evaluation through immunostaining techniques.
• Highlights the need for careful diagnosis in rare conditions like follicular cholangitis during dialysis.
