RESUMO
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the colon characterized by intermittent exacerbations and remissions. It may be complicated with colon cancer or autoimmune-related extracolonic problems. Herein, we present a woman with ulcerative colitis who developed sarcoidosis, colon cancer, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and cholangiocarcinoma. To our knowledge, such associations in a patient have not been reported before.

Ornidazole is a commonly prescribed antiparasitic drug for parasitic infestations, including amoebiasis, giardiasis and Trichomonas vaginalis. Several cases of antibiotic-induced autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) or AIH-like syndrome have been reported recently. In this report, we describe a 35-year-old woman with two relapses of AIH induced by ornidazole prescribed for diarrhoea and vaginal infection.
