Abstract
Cyproterone acetate (CPA) is a widely used drug in the treatment of advanced prostatic carcinoma. Although it is generally well tolerated, liver toxicity has been recognised as a complication of long-term use. We report 3 patients with severe hepatocellular damage due to CPA therapy, 2 with fatal fulminant hepatitis.Entities:
