ABSTRACT
We report here in a case of primary biliary cirrhosis associated with nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver in a white woman revealed by digestive hemorrhage due to ruptured esophageal varices. The diagnosis of primary biliary cirrhosis was based on the following elevated serum IgM, high titer of antimitochondrial antibody (anti M2), typical histopathological picture of stage I/II disease. The diagnosis of nodular regenerative hyperplasia was supported by the demonstration of disseminated small hepatic nodules without perinodular fibrosis. This association may be a supplementary argument in favor of a possible autoimmune origin of nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver.
