Abstract

We report the case of the association of three uncommon diseases in a young woman: incontinentia pigmenti, portal hypertension due to hepatoportal sclerosis, and liver adenomatosis. Incontinentia pigmenti is a hereditary genodermatosis with pigmentary cutaneous lesions and dysmorphic malformations. In our patient, among liver abnormalities, there were blood biochemical alterations, portal hypertension, and initially neo hepatic nodular lesions. Histological examination of the surgical liver specimen showed several adenomas and fibrosis of the portal tracts with portal vascular changes. The etiopathogenic nature of the adenomatosis and hepatoportal sclerosis is unclear. As a general rule, hepatic adenomatosis is associated with normal liver. We hypothesize that the adenomas could be secondary to changes in hepatic vascularisation.
