Dubin-Johnson syndrome presenting with neonatal cholestasis.
We report a case of Dubin-Johnson syndrome presenting with neonatal cholestasis. Liver histology was studied during the neonatal period and at 6 years of age. Distinct brownish pigment granules in hepatocytes were noted. This case confirms that Dubin-Johnson syndrome is a cause of neonatal cholestasis.
