We report a patient with chronic active hepatitis in whom one of the initial findings was retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy, detected by abdominal ultrasound examination. Extrahepatic presenting findings of chronic active hepatitis may include arthritis, urticaria, pleurisy and pericarditis, while abdominal lymphadenopathy has been only rarely described. Chronic active hepatitis should be included in the differential diagnosis of abdominal lymphadenopathy.
我们报告了一名慢性活动性肝炎患者,腹部超声检查发现其最初的表现之一为腹膜后淋巴结病。慢性活动性肝炎的肝外表现可能包括关节炎、荨麻疹、胸膜炎和心包炎,而腹部淋巴结病仅有极少的描述。腹部淋巴结病的鉴别诊断应包括慢性活动性肝炎。
