Idiopathic Intrahepatic Cholestasis as an Unusual Presentation of Hodgkin’s Disease by Hande Atalay, Banu Boyuk, Muhammet Ates, Aslan Celebi, Ismail Ekizoglu, Arzu A. Didik, Aysenur A. Igdem

“…Herein we report the diagnosis of mixed type HL-related idiopathic intrahepatic cholestasis in a 73-year-old man presenting with jaundice, after the inguinal lymph node biopsy indicative of mixed cellular type HL and liver biopsy consistent with intrahepatic cholestasis, following several diagnostic interventions including surgery for suspected extrahepatic obstructive cholestasis. Our findings emphasize the value of early liver biopsy in the diagnostic algorithm along with consideration of HL-related idiopathic intrahepatic cholestasis as a diagnosis of exclusion in cholestatic jaundice of obscure origin.…”
