Abstract
Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) of the von Zumbusch type may be associated with liver disorders, usually resulting in cholestatic hepatitis with neutrophilic cholangitis. We describe the case of a woman who experienced a first episode of GPP, during which she presented with an increase in hepatic cytolysis parameters. An abdominal ultrasound and serological studies did not show any significant anomalies. A liver biopsy showed the presence of a neutrophilic infiltrate around the bile ducts of the portal space. In short, this fact suggests that neutrophilic cholangitis in the context of this disease may initially show patterns of analytical alterations other than the classically described cholestatic pattern.
