ABSTRACT
We herein report a rare case of cartilage-hair hypoplasia (CHH) complicated with liver cirrhosis. A 20-year-old Japanese man with CHH was found incidentally to have liver cirrhosis and an esophageal varix. This patient had been treated for infections due to immunodeficiency since early childhood. He ultimately died of liver failure at 31 years of age. An autopsy revealed an abnormality of the interlobular bile ducts and intrahepatic cholestasis. Liver cirrhosis was thought to have been caused by chronic intrahepatic cholestasis due to biliary duct hypoplasia and changes in the intestinal microbiome. Therefore, CHH may cause biliary cirrhosis due to multiple effects.
