Abstract:
Ulcerative colitis is a diffuse inflammatory disease which is characterized by the vascular congestion and superficial ulcerations in the mucosal and the submucosal layers of the rectum and colon. Extraintestinal manifestations such as arthritis, skin lesion, hepatobiliary and ocular diseases occur in a large number of patients with ulcerative colitis, though gastrointestinal symptoms of mucous and bloody stool, diarrhea and abdominal pain are frequently presented. The association of ulcerative colitis and hepatobiliary disease has been frequently reported in the western countries since the first description by Thomas C.H. in 1874. Fatty degeneration, chronic active hepatitis, cirrhosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis and hepatobiliary carcinoma are included in this list of complications. In the case of hepatobiliary carcinoma, however, the histological diagnosis has almost invariably been cholangiocarcinoma. We report a case of clinical ulcerative colitis with coneurrent hepatocellular carcinoma confirmed by the histologic examination of biopsy specimen in a 49 year old man with the relevant literatures.
