    Sclerosing cholangitis from intraarterial floxuridine.

    Dikengil A, Siskind BN, Morse SS, Swedlund A, Bober-Sorcinelli KE, Burrell MI.

    The development of biliary strictures simulating sclerosing cholangitis is now well-known. We report a patient undergoing intraarterial chemotherapy for metastatic colon cancer of the liver in whom segmental intrahepatic biliary strictures occurred remote from known metastases. The patient remains alive 3-4 years after documented liver metastases with severe progressive portal hypertension, hypersplenism, and fat malabsorption. A table of cases so far reported is given.
