Abstract
A 38-year-old man diagnosed with craniopharyngioma at 8 years old underwent repeated surgery
and radiation therapy. Complications included panhypopituitarism including growth hormone
deficiency and hypogonadism at 13 years old. At 26 years of age, a slight fatty liver was found, which
finally developed into liver cirrhosis (LC) at 35 years old. Viral infection or other etiologies causing LC
were negative on serum examinations. Liver biopsy suggested a possibility of burn-out non-alcoholic
steatohepatitis. This case indicates that a long-standing growth hormone deficiency and hypogonadism
may lead to LC as a type of burn-out non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.
