A 16-year-old boy was diagnosed as having primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), based on retrograde cholangiography showing mixed features of narrowing and dilatation of the common hepatic and intrahepatic bile ducts. However, periductal fibrosis was not observed in the needle biopsy liver specimen. The liver biopsy specimen obtained 11 years previously, at the onset of the disease had disclosed a marked infiltration of eosinophils in the portal tract with eosinophilic catinonic protein immunostaining, with marked eosinophilia (54%) being noted. In Japanese reports, eosinophilia of more than 7% was reported in 13 of 32 (40.6%) PSC patients. However, the early stage of PSC, with marked eosinophilia and eosinophilic infiltration in the liver, such as in the present case, has rarely been reported. The findings in this case suggest that eosinocytes are related to the pathogenesis of PSC.
