Sjögren’s syndrome (SS), a chronic autoimmune disorder, primarily manifests as dry eyes and mouth. Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is one of the most frequent hepatic diseases associated with SS, with its reported incidence ranging from 3% to 9%. It both diseases, autoimmunity seems to be directed toward the ductal epithelial cells. When SS patients have an elevated alkaline phosphatase level, it is necessary to examine AMA and to perform liver biopsy. A 63-year-old woman with PBC and SS is reported.
