Abstract
A patient with dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) developed abnormal liver function tests and was found to have histological features of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) on liver biopsy. The association of DH an d PSC has not been previously reported and the high incidence of pheno type HLA B8 and DR3 in these disorders suggests a common genetic predi sposition may exist for both diseases.
