ABSTRACT
A 38-year-old man diagnosed with craniopharyngioma at 8 years old underwent repeated surgery and radiation therapy. Complications included panhypopituitarism including growth hormone deficiency and hypogonadism at 13 years old. At 26 years of age, a slight fatty liver was found, which finally developed into liver cirrhosis (LC) at 35 years old. Viral infection or other etiologies causing LC were negative on serum examinations. Liver biopsy suggested a possibility of burn-out non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. This case indicates that a long-standing growth hormone deficiency and hypogonadism may lead to LC as a type of burn-out non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.
