Abstract
Acute liver failure is the development of severe hepatic injury with deterioration of liver synthesis function and encephalopathy. Among all the variety of causes, neoplastic infiltration represents less than 0.5%. We present the case of a male patient with a past medical history of HTLV-1 infection, who reports symptoms of acute hepatitis, being diagnosed with Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma. Unfortunately, the patient had a rapid deterioration and passed away a few days after admission.
