Core Tip	Based on the idea that unfavorable alterations of biliary phospholipids might play a role in the pathogenesis of sclerosing cholangitis, phosphatidylcholine (PC) and lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) species profiles were analyzed in endoscopically-acquired intrahepatic bile using nano-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. The examination of specimens from 14 patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis, 10 patients with secondary sclerosing cholangitis, 11 patients with choledocholithiasis/no biliary disease and 6 patients with cholangiocellular carcinoma revealed strikingly similar PC and LPC species patterns, implicating at the most a minor role of biliary phospholipid changes in sclerosing cholangitis.
