Hepatocellular carcinoma and focal hepatic glycogenosis after prolonged azathioprine therapy

S Cattan et al. Hum Pathol. 2000 Jul.

Abstract

A 22-year-old woman without predisposing liver disease developed focal hepatic glycogenosis and hepatocellular carcinoma after 6 years of azathioprine therapy for Crohn's disease. Hepatocellular carcinoma without cirrhosis has previously been described during immunosuppression, but this is the first report of disseminated focal hepatic glycogenosis after long-term azathioprine therapy.
