Abstract
Vanishing bile duct syndrome (VBDS) is a disorder presented with jaundice and prolonged cholestasis due to intrahepatic cholestasis with paucity of interlobular bile ducts. Liver involvement of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) is well-known however VBDS is extremely rare presentation of HL. Lack of well-established pathogenetic mechanism and rarity of disorder may cause diagnostic confusion. We reported a case of VBDS related to Hodgkins lymphoma presented with generalized jaundice. Key words: Cholestasis, Hodgkin's lymphoma, vanishing bile duct syndrome.
