Primary biliary cirrhosis and bone changes.
Two cases of primary biliary cirrhosis with bone lesions are reported. In one case radiographic findings in the hands and right shoulder are found to be characteristic of primary biliary cirrhosis rather than other concomitant diseases present in the patient which are also susceptible to produce bone lesions. The second case is an example of less specific bone changes which may be attributed to primary biliary cirrhosis or other rheumatoid disease.
