title: [Association of primary sclerosing cholangitis and sarcoidosis].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Primary sclerosing cholangitis and sarcoidosis are rarely associated diseases.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report the case of an 42-year-old woman with primary sclerosing cholangitis confirmed by endoscopic cholangiography, biopsy of the liver and serum neutrophil cytoplasmatic antibodies. Furthermore radiological and histological signs of pulmonary and hepatic manifestation of sarcoidosis were observed, besides there were alopecia areata and choledocholithiasis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The present case report gives a brief survey of the literature, reflects the theories to unknown etiology and reports actual aspects of diagnosis and therapy of both diseases.
