RESUMEN

59-year-old man, smoker, diabetic and hypertensive. He went to the ER due to fixed abdominal pain in the epigastrium, diaphoresis, dizziness, nausea, and "coffee grounds" vomiting. On examination he presented abdominal distension and pain on palpation in the epigastrium, without peritonism. He had a BP of 235/100 mmHg and in the blood-tests, leukocytosis with neutrophilia and normal hemoglobin. An urgent abdominal CT scan was performed, identifying a 5x6 cm nodular lesion of homogeneous density attached to the wall of the second and third duodenal portions that compressed the lumen, with two vessels with active bleeding within it. Therefore, percutaneous embolization of the gastroduodenal artery was performed. Subsequently, the patient suffered an episode of severe acute pancreatitis that required ICU admission. Finally, he presented a good clinical evolution with ceasing of pain, complete reabsorption of the hematoma and resolution of the obstructive symptoms. (AU)

RESUMEN

There are multiple causes of secondary sclerosing cholangitis (SSC), including mechanical obstruction, ischemia, congenital abnormalities, cholangiopathy of the critically ill patient and rarely, chemotherapy (1,2). We present the case of a 52-year-old female with a history of left breast invasive ductal carcinoma treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (adriamycin, cyclophosphamide and paclitaxel), surgery and radiotherapy in March 2021. She was admitted in July 2022 due to painless jaundice and pruritus with marked serum cholestasis. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed multiple strictures and dilatations involving the intra and extrahepatic bile ducts (Figure 1.A), without any extrinsic stenotic cause. Findings were confirmed by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with cholangioscopy (Figure 1.B). Biopsies were negative for malignancy and IgG4 disease. In addition, autoantibodies were negative and serum IgG4 levels were normal. Due to these findings and the history of recent chemotherapy, the patient was diagnosed with paclitaxel-induced sclerosing cholangitis, initiating treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid. Over the following two months, she suffered two episodes of Klebsiella Pneumoniae bacteraemia due to acute cholangitis. Dilatation and placement of plastic stents in both biliary trees were performed and prophylactic antibiotherapy was started. The patient had a poor evolution and was not candidate for liver transplantation on account of a recent neoplasia. She died six months later due to sepsis secondary to multiple hepatic abscesses.
