First Department of Surgery, Yokohama City University School of Medicine, Japan.

A 74-year-old man was admitted to the Yokohama City University School of Medicine for investigation of high values of ALP and Y-GTP. Radiographic examinations, including abdominal computed tomography and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography, strongly suggested bile duct cancer in the hepatic hilus. After left lobectomy, pathological examination disclosed segmental primary sclerosing cholangitis. Clinical examination cannot always distinguish primary sclerosing cholangitis from cancer. We report a case of segmental primary sclerosing cholangitis and discuss the diagnosis and the treatment of this disease.
