Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis Associated With Ulcerative Colitis Coexisting With Cholangiocarcinoma: A Case Report

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare chronic inflammatory disease in which multifocal fibrosis of bile ducts causes eventually narrowing and even blocking, forming multifocal strictures alternated to dilatations. Here, we reported an extremely rare case of PSC associated with ulcerative colitis (UC) and coexisting with cholangiocarcinoma in a 33-year-old male presented with right upper quadrant pain and dark urine. Liver function tests were deranged, and ERCP found a beaded cholangiography appearance due to multifocal bile duct strictures alternating with normal and dilated segments of the common hepatic duct and the intrahepatic bile ducts. We aim to document this typical case of PSC associated with UC and coexisted with cholangiocarcinoma to add the existing data on these rare pathologies.
