Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic, progressive autoimmune disease of the liver marked by slow progressive destruction of the small interlobular bile ducts that leads to cholestasis, jaundice, liver cirrhosis and liver failure. Various skin manifestations have been described in patients with PBC including pruritus, skin excoriations, skin hyperpigmentation, scleroderma, morphea, lichen sclerosus et atrophicus, granuloma annulare, and atypical urticaria. In this paper we present a case of a 34-year old woman with PBC accompanied by scleroderma-like skin syndrome.
