    • Abstract:
      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.
