Hodgkin ’s lymphoma-related vanishing bile duct syndrome

In this report, we introduce the case of a 32-year-old male patient with Hodgkin's lymphoma, diagnosed with vanishing bile duct syndrome upon liver biopsy as a root cause behind his icterus. The PET/CT has proven complete metabolic remission after 2 cycles of ABVD chemoterapy. Clinical improvement, however, occurred only after several months. Finally the loss of bile ducts proved to be a reversible process, the complete metabolic remission of Hodgkin's lymphoma resulted in the regeneration of the bile ducts.
