- Abstract
Hepatomegaly, chronic diarrhea, and weight loss in a middle-aged woman were found to be due to massive hepatic steatosis and adult celiac disease. After she was on a gluten-free diet for 1 yr., improvement in clinical, laboratory, and pathological parameters was witnessed. Massive hepatic steatosis complicating adult celiac disease is an uncommon occurrence, differing from other, more frequently encountered hepatopathies in this disease, insofar as pathogenetic and prognostic aspects are concerned.
