Abstract
We report the case of a 34-year-old male patient with Crohn's disease, undergoing chronic treatment with 6-mercaptopurine, and who was diagnosed with nodular regenerative hyperplasia secondary to this treatment. The diagnosis was suspected when abnormalities in liver function tests were observed and ultrasonography showed signs of portal hypertension. The final diagnosis was confirmed by liver biopsy.
