Ulcerative colitis, primary biliary cirrhosis, and chronic pancreatitis: coincident or coexistent?

Abstract

We report a 45-year-old woman with chronic ulcerative colitis complicated by primary biliary cirrhosis and concomitant chronic pancreatitis. The combination of primary biliary cirrhosis and ulcerative colitis has only rarely been reported, and the association of these diseases with chronic pancreatitis is even rarer. These systemic manifestations of ulcerative colitis should be looked for more often.
