It is rare in adults and associated with autoimmune disorders, hematological diseases, medications and rheumatological diseases. We report a case of 47 year old female who presented with jaundice and fever. Trucut biopsy from liver was performed. Microscopic findings favored a diagnosis of Post infantile giant cell hepatitis with autoimmune hepatitis.
