Does hepatic subcapsular calcification in a premature baby reflect disease?
We followed a premature baby with hepatic subcapsular calcification of unknown etiology. Results of clinical and laboratory investigations and growth of the patient were normal. The causes of this condition are discussed and we suggest that it does not necessarily reflect disease.
