Eosinophilic Cholangitis (EC) is a rare, benign disease often mistaken for cholangiocarcinoma as clinically and radiologically EC resembles cholangiocarcinoma. Often, extensive hepatobiliary resections for a presumed malignancy are completed; however, with appropriate diagnosis EC can be managed medically. We present two cases of EC with a comprehensive literature review and a proposed diagnostic decision algorithm for EC by which to evaluate suspicious lesions with biliary obstruction and potentially avoid surgery for this benign disease. |
