Abstract
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare acute hyperinflammatory condition presenting with high fever, pancytopenia, splenomegaly with the pathologic finding of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in bone marrow and other tissues. Predominant hepatic manifestations at presentation are rare. We report a series of three cases which showcase the spectrum of liver disease as presentation in hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.Entities:
