Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) was diagnosed in two siblings, a 42-year-old male and his 49-year-old sister. Furthermore, they were complicated with three types of autoimmune diseases: polymyositis, Hashimoto's thyroiditis and vasculitis of the right axillary artery. Although PBC is often associated with other autoimmune diseases, reports of the association with polymyositis and vasculitis syndrome are rare. Familial clustering of PBC with autoimmune diseases is also rare.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008105 Liver Cirrhosis, Biliary FIBROSIS of the hepatic parenchyma due to obstruction of BILE flow (CHOLESTASIS) in the intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts (BILE DUCTS, INTRAHEPATIC; BILE DUCTS, EXTRAHEPATIC). Primary biliary cholangitis involves the destruction of small intra-hepatic bile ducts and decreased bile secretion. Secondary biliary cholangitis is produced by prolonged obstruction of large intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts from a variety of causes.
