    This report details a rare case of ulcerative colitis combined with primary sclerosing cholangitis in a 36-year-old male. Diagnosis involved endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and antibody testing, leading to surgical intervention to restore bile flow.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology and Hepatology
    • Autoimmune Diseases
    • Surgical Interventions

    Background:

    • Ulcerative colitis (UC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) are chronic inflammatory conditions.
    • PSC is a rare but serious complication of UC, affecting the bile ducts.
    • Co-occurrence of UC and PSC presents diagnostic and management challenges.

    Observation:

    • A 36-year-old male patient presented with symptoms suggestive of biliary tract disease.
    • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) visualized the common bile duct.
    • Absence of antimitochondrial antibodies helped differentiate PSC from other chronic destructive cholangitis forms.

    Findings:

    • The patient had a rare co-diagnosis of ulcerative colitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis.

  • Diagnostic workup confirmed the biliary involvement consistent with PSC.
  • Surgical intervention, specifically hepaticojejunostomy, was performed.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of recognizing the association between UC and PSC.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management of this rare combination.
    • Surgical correction of bile duct obstruction can normalize bile flow and improve patient outcomes.
