  • Title: Intrahepatic cholangitis associated with mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome.
    Author: Edwards KM, Glick AD, Greene HL.
    Journal: J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr; 1985 Feb; 4(1):140-2. PubMed ID: 3981358.
    Abstract:
    Although gallbladder hydrops occurs frequently in patients with mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome (MCLS), the etiology of the gallbladder lesion is unclear. Recently we performed a liver biopsy on a child with severe MCLS and demonstrated selective invasion of biliary ductular epithelial cells by polymorphonuclear leukocytes with sparing of the hepatocytes. The possible role of the selective destruction of biliary cells in the pathogenesis of biliary disease in MCLS is discussed.
