Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: We report an unusual presentation of primary biliary cirrhosis.
CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 66-year-old white British woman who presented to the Accident and Emergency department with ascites and unilateral pleural effusion (hepatic hydrothorax). Following a liver biopsy, the diagnosis of primary biliary cirrhosis was made.
CONCLUSION: It is important to consider the diagnosis of hepatic cirrhosis when presented with a unilateral pleural effusion in both the presence and absence of ascites.
