Hepatic fibrin-ring granulomas in a patient with hepatitis A

Gastroenterology. 1991 Jan;100(1):268-70. doi: 10.1016/0016-5085(91)90612-o.

Abstract

Hepatic fibrin-ring granulomas were found in a 30-year-old patient with serologically confirmed hepatitis A. Other causes associated with the presence of fibrin-ring granulomas in the liver, such as Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, cytomegalovirus infection, visceral leishmaniasis, and consumption of allopurinol, were ruled out. It is suggested that hepatitis A must be included in the differential diagnosis of a patient with hepatic fibrin-ring granulomas.
