title: Association of celiac disease with non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis.
abstract: Both celiac disease and non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis are known to be associated with various autoimmune diseases and have numerous immunological abnormalities. Herein two patients with celiac disease having associated non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis are reported. An autoimmune link between the two conditions is likely to explain coexistence in the same patient.
