    AbstractBiliary sarcoidosis is an unusual clinical entity which mimics autoimmune biliary disease and malignant distal obstruction. Three cases were managed in this series. In two cases the appropriate clinical history, cholangiographic findings, and response to therapy enabled early diagnosis. The third diagnosis was made using a Whipple resection specimen. Biliary sarcoidosis is an important consideration in those with an enigmatic presentation of jaundice as they may be managed non- operatively if expeditiously diagnosed.
