Liver amyloidosis as an exceptional cause of intrahepatic cholestasis

Resumen

Hepatic amyloidosis is a rare manifestation of a systemic disease characterized by the extracellular deposition of insoluble proteins. It usually presents asymptomatically or with nonspecific symptoms, and cholestatic jaundice is an exceptional finding. We present a clinical case with this form of onset, in which imaging initially suggested a hepatic neoplasm, and the definitive diagnosis was established through liver biopsy.

Keywords: liver amyloidosis, cholestasis.
