Abstract
A 41-yr-old man presented with jaundice, night sweats, and weight loss. The patient had been on phenytoin for seizure disorder. The drug was discontinued, and a diminution of bilirubin and transaminases occurred over several weeks. Percutaneous liver biopsy revaled cholestasis at the time of maximal hyperbilirubinemia. Recurrent jaundice ensued several weeks later, and an ERCP revealed a common bile duct lesion. Laparotomy revealed Hodgkin's disease involving the common bile duct and periportal node. This cause represents the first report of extrahepatic biliary obstruction from Hodgkin's disease.
