title: Cirrhosis in an Active Duty Soldier With Concomitant Isolated Polycystic Disease and H63D Homozygosity.
abstract: We report the case of a 45-year-old male soldier who was evaluated for a rapidly expanding hepatic mass following cholecystectomy and was eventually found to have isolated polycystic liver disease and express HFE H63D homozygosity. Both H63D homozygosity and isolated polycystic liver disease are only rarely associated with clinical cirrhosis. This is the first reported case of their concomitant presentation.
