Computerized tomography in the diagnosis of congenital hepatic fibrosis

A case of congenital hepatic fibrosis (CHF), a relatively rare disease, was diagnosed preoperatively on the basis of clinical and radiological findings. The diagnosis was confirmed by computerized tomography and later proven by a liver biopsy performed during cholecystectomy. Increased awareness of this entity may reveal heretofore unidentified cases of CHF.
