Abstract
We report the case of a 52-year-old male diagnosed with primary sclerosing colangitis, mainly of the extrahepatic bile duct, with a long evolution. After liver transplantation, the explanted liver showed necrosis of the bile duct wall, with fungal structures inside the bile duct that was compatible with Candida. The patient was treated with mesalazine and ursodeoxycholic acid and does not have a stent in the bile duct.
