Abstract

We report a 46-year-old patient with the typical biochemical, histological and cholangiographic findings of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) whose clinical and laboratory findings would also qualify her for the diagnosis of definite autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), according to the aggregate score of the International Autoimmune Hepatitis Group. We suggest that this patient may represent an example of the overlapping syndrome of PSC and AIH.
