Mri Features

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic liver disease in which there are inflammation and scarring of the bile ducts leading to fibrosis, destruction and narrowing of the bile ducts, resulting in cholestasis. In the long run, PSC can cause liver cirrhosis and failure. In clinical practice, the diagnosis of PSC is generally based on blood tests and imaging studies (currently preferably magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography). To make a diagnosis of PSC it is necessary to exclude secondary causes of sclerosing cholangitis. The most common MRI features of PSC concerning bile ducts are: bile duct dilatation, beading, extrahepatic bile duct stenosis, wall enhancement and thickening. The most common MRI features of PSC concerning hepatic parenchyma are: rounded shape of the liver caused by hypertrophy of caudate lobe and left liver lobe, atrophy of the right lobe, enlargement of portal and/or portacaval lymph nodes, peripheral parenchymal inflammation, wedge-shaped confluent fibrosis, heterogeneity of the liver parenchyma, periportal oedema, cirrhosis with indirect signs of portal hypertension such as splenomegaly, ascites and collateral vasculature.

Hepatic Sarcoidosis

We report the case of a 29-year-old man who presented with progressive weight loss, night sweats, abdominal pain and pruritus who was found to have obstructive jaundice and cholestatic pattern of liver injury on laboratory workup. Though findings on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography were initially concerning primary sclerosing cholangitis, he was ultimately diagnosed with biliary sarcoidosis after a liver biopsy. This case brings attention to the rare phenomenon of hepatic sarcoidosis causing hyperbilirubinemia and highlights the importance of reaching the correct diagnosis early, as the patient’s symptoms improved after initiation of steroids.
