Abstract

Sclerosing mesenteritis is an uncommon benign condition that should be included in the differential diagnosis of abdominal masses. We present the first reported case of this condition in association with idiopathic bile duct fibrosis simulating Klatskin's tumor. A review of the literature regarding both clinical entities is presented.
