title: [Celiac disease, autoimmune cirrhosis, chronic pancreatitis: apropos of a triple association].
abstract: We report the case of a 60 year old lady suffering from celiac disease and autoimmune cirrhosis who developed exocrine pancreatic insufficiency with canalicular lesions consistent with chronic pancreatitis. Celiac disease is known to be associated with either pancreatic insufficiency or liver disease, but association of all three diseases has not yet been described. We suggest that chronic pancreatitis be added to the list of idiopathic inflammatory pancreatitis of possible autoimmune origin, enabling to explain the pathophysiology of all three disorders with one hypothesis.
