| Abstract: | ![]()
We describe a young man with a hitherto unreported association of chronic ulcerative colitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), bile duct carcinoma, and generalized sarcoidosis with features of high-intensity alveolitis. This finding suggests that common immunological mechanisms may be involved in the pathogenesis of these diseases. |
