Abstract
Three patients with liver metastases and clinical and biochemical signs of cholestasis are reported in this study. In the three patients, cholangiography showed shifted and stretched intrahepatic bile ducts and multifocal strictures simulating intrahepatic primary sclerosing cholangitis. In two patients, histological examination showed periductal fibrosis or inflammation. Hepatic metastases should be included among the conditions considered to simulate intrahepatic primary sclerosing cholangitis during cholangiography.
