- Abstract
A polysomy fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) result in a pancreatobiliary brushing from a patient with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is very worrisome for carcinoma. However, treatment is not recommended unless verified by corroborative evidence of malignancy because of less than perfect test specificity in this population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of PSC patients with serial polysomy FISH results.
