ABSTRACT
Eosinophilic cholangitis is a rare cause of deranged obstructive liver function tests. It has been described as a great mimicker for malignant biliary strictures and bile duct obstruction. There are only case reports available on treatment experience for eosinophilic cholangitis. A large proportion of patients present with biliary strictures for which they have undergone surgery or endoscopic treatment and a small proportion was given systemic corticosteroid. We share our treatment experience using budesonide which has fewer systemic side effects to prednisolone and avoids invasive management.
