Overview
A CT scan of the abdomen is not routinely done as part of the workup for primary sclerosing cholangitis and findings are non-specific. However, findings include: mass lesions, evidence of portal hypertension, such as ascites, splenomegaly and varices, thickening of the bile ducts and bile duct dilatations and abdominal lymphadenopathy.
CT
A CT scan of the abdomen is not routinely done as part of the workup for primary sclerosing cholangitis and findings are non-specific. However, findings include:[1][2][3][4][5][6]
- Mass lesions
- Evidence of portal hypertension, such as ascites, splenomegaly and varices
- Thickening of the bile ducts and bile duct dilatations
- Lymphadenopathy in the abdomen is a common finding in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis
