Abstract

The case of a young female diagnosed with an IgG deficit and hepatic granulomas is presented. After 6 years of follow up the patient remains asymptomatic without treatment and with moderate biochemical cholestasis. The tests performed did not lead to a definitive etiologic diagnosis, therefore, according to a review of the literature, we believe that the granulomatous reactions are related with the hypogammaglobulinemia itself.
