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.
