Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are both well defined autoimmune diseases. Associations between PBC and other autoimmune diseases have been reported, but their true extent and pattern is unknown. The most frequent coexisting disorder with PBC is Sjögren’s syndrome. The coexistence of PBC and RA in the same patient is an unusual condition and it’s not noted in the textbooks. We report a case that met the disease-defining criteria for both PBC and RA and intend to attract the attention to the possibility of this association.Keywords: Romatoid artrit, primer biliyer sirozTurkiye Klinikleri J Med Sci 2007, 27:455-457
