A clinical case of a combination of ulcerative colitis with cirrhosis in the outcome of primary sclerosing cholangitis in a twelve-year-old child is presented. The uniqueness of the clinical observation lies in the atypical onset of ulcerative colitis in the form of complaints of weakness and headache, as well as detected anemia of 3 severity. It is important that the child lacked diarrhea, blood in the stool, tenesmus, weight loss, and fever. Of the most characteristic signs of liver damage, only itching of the skin of the lower extremities was noted. As a result, the child was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver at the end of the extraintestinal manifestation of ulcerative colitis — primary sclerosing cholangitis.
