- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 15-year-old Japanese female with TAFRO syndrome, an idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease, exhibiting acute hepatitis-like imaging findings. Topics discussed include the characteristic features of TAFRO syndrome, the challenges in diagnosis, and successful management with tocilizumab and prednisone, emphasizing the importance of considering TAFRO syndrome in patients with hepatitis-like imaging and normal transaminase levels.
