Abstract

Given the invasiveness of liver biopsy, new non-invasive methods to evaluate the prognosis of autoimmune liver diseases continue to be searched. We introduce a case report and a review of cases of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and primary biliary cholangitis (CBP) associated to halo sign and inhomogeneity of the liver parenchyma on diagnostic imaging (computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and contrastenhanced ultrasound). Our clinical case is a 37-year-old patient came to our Unit for an autoimmune hepatitis, characterized by atypical imaging.
