Abstract
The case of a six-year-old boy with sclerosing cholangitis is presented. The diagnosis was verified by cholangiographic and pathological studies. Despite surgical intervention, the jaundice and the course of the disease could not be altered. The plasmocytoid cell clusters in the spleen and marked IgG elevation in the serum suggest that the immunologic mechanism might account for the pathogenesis of this syndrome.
Keywords: childhood, cholangitis, sclerosing cholangitis
