[A case of glycogenosis in a patient with insulin dependent diabetes].
We are reporting a case of a diabetic girl in whom we found a hepatomegaly never noticed before. Liver function is compromised; liver ultrasound confirmed hepatomegaly; liver biopsy pointed out a picture compatible with glycogenosis. This situation was due to a hyperdosage of insulin because the patient assumed an excessive quantity of food, caused by psycho-affective disorders and therefore took an excessive quantity of insulin. Other conditions of hepatomegaly are to be considered in the process of insulin dependent diabetes.
