title: Hepatic amyloidosis associated with systemic lupus erythematosus.
abstract: The association between amyloidosis and systemic lupus erythematosus has rarely been described. We report a case of a 37-year-old man with a long-standing SLE who developed clinical and laboratory signs of hepatic dysfunction. A liver biopsy revealed secondary amyloidosis.
