Abstract
Talc in the liver is highly suggestive of intravenous drug abuse. We report three patients in whom finding talc or talc granuloma on liver biopsy led to the diagnosis of unsuspected i.v. drug abuse. There follows a discussion of the pathogenesis, laboratory and clinical features, and liver pathology of talc liver.Entities:
