摘要
We present the case of a patient who died from multiple organ failure due to acute liver failure as a result of malignant hepatic infiltration by an adenocarcinoma. A review of the literature revealed that the clinical picture, laboratory examination, and imaging studies do not contribute to the diagnosis of this rare cause of liver failure. Therefore, liver biopsy should be considered early in the process, as this diagnosis is a contraindication for orthotopic liver transplantation.
