Abstract
Langerhans' cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a disease of unknown pathogenesis, caused by clonal proliferation of Langerhans' cells. Liver involvement results in a cholangiopathy, which has the radiologic appearance of sclerosing cholangitis. Only 1 case of obstructive jaundice due to common bile duct stone in a patient with LCH has been described. We present a case of a 31‐month‐old child with LCH and liver involvement on the waiting list for liver transplantation. During the follow‐up, there was a rapid onset of jaundice due to sludge and lithiasis. The patient was treated first with an endoscopic biliary plastic stent and then with percutaneous biliary drainage and bilioenteric anastomosis. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound 2009
